I am a postdoctoral researcher at UCLA and
an AI Policy Fellow at the Mila Institute.

My research examines youth civic development,
specifically: (1) effects of adaptive learning
technologies on political polarization, and
(2) processes in peer networks that contribute
to critical consciousness. 


I believe in the transformative power of education
and I am driven by a conviction that academic
institutions are uniquely positioned to facilitate
the co-creation of a more equitable, peaceful, and 
sustainable world.
