I was born in southern San Diego, and I have lived and studied across southern California and the United Kingdom. I hold a B.S. in Psychobiology (UCLA) and an M.A. in Social Research Methods (Durham University).

My interdisciplinary background has made me a systems-thinker. I use qualitative, quantitative, and computational methods to inform decision-making, shape design, and connect with audiences. As an amateur photographer, I translate observation into art, capturing the textures of everyday life.
