I am currently a Postdoctoral Scholar at the Stanford University Department of Communication.
I research the history of right-wing politics in Silicon Valley and online. I also study right-wing online communities and their digital media practices. I have published on social media influencers, “cancel culture,” disinformation, and networked harassment. I am committed to rigorous mixed-methods approaches, and I draw on the fields of history, cultural studies, sociology, and science and technology studies. My work has been published in academic journals including New Media & Society, Social Media + Society, and American Behavioral Scientist.
In September 2024, I obtained my PhD in Communication Theory and Research from Stanford University. Before pursuing my PhD, I was a researcher at the Data & Society Research Institute. I have an MSc in Social Science from the Oxford Internet Institute and a BA in Film Studies from Columbia University.
