It is nice to meet you!
I am a researcher based at the University of Oregon in the CAIDe Lab.
I graduated from the University of Oregon in 2023 with a bachelor's degree in public relations and journalism.
I have been the lab coordinator for CAIDe Lab since October 2023. During my time at the CAIDe Lab, I have also served as an interim program manager for the Center for Science Communication Research (SCR).
My research interests include processing fluency, relevant images, visual abstracts, the psychology of language, deception, negative life events, science communication, journalistic AI, and political communication.
