My research interests focus on investigating the role of technology in promoting health and mental well-being, cultivating supportive online communities, and enhancing educational technologies.

In my free time I read high fantasy books 🧙‍♂️ and draw my favorite characters once I’m done reading. Besides that, I love collecting all sorts of rocks and minerals, and sometimes shells (my favorite is Abalone).

I’ve always been interested in design and creativity but at the time of my undergrad, I was persuaded to pursue a corporate career path, leading me to study Management Science. However, in my senior year I took an elective in Human-Computer Interaction and that’s how I got to know about UX and thought of going for a master’s in the field!
