Hi, I'm Jess.
I am a mixed methods researcher with over 6 years of experience leading end-to-end applied product & academic research initiatives. I hold a PhD in Human-Computer Interaction with concentrations in Social Aspects of Information & Communication, where
my research has focused on understanding the social dynamics of human interactions with and mediated by
AI. I am the first author of 7 peer-reviewed publications.
I love to collaborate and meet new people! If you'd like to chat about being a first-generation college student, navigating from technical to behavioral research (my background is originally in mechanical engineering), or examining the social aspects of AI, please send me a message.
