I am a PhD candidate in Computer Science in the Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences (ICS) at the University of California, Irvine (UCI). I obtained my BS in Computer Science and Engineering from Santa Clara University (SCU) and my MS in Computer Science from UCI.
I am a member of the UCI Networking Group and NSF SaTC Frontier ProperData Center, and I am advised by Athina Markopoulou and Scott Jordan. My research interests include usable privacy, children's and teens' online privacy and safety, human-computer interaction (HCI), system auditing and compliance, and privacy legislation and regulation. I am also President of the Women in CyberSecurity (WiCyS) student chapter at UCI. For more information, see my CV.
