Hi! :) I am a rising 3rd year PhD candidate student at the University of Washington Information School, advised by Prof. Alexis Hiniker at the User Empowerment Lab.

Broadly speaking, my research is in the field of human-computer interaction and social computing. I focus on 1) understanding, 2) designing, and 3) building social technologies—from broadcast social media to extended reality systems—that center on positive relationship building, especially for the youth.

In my free time, I chat with my two chihuahuas’ photos (living back home 🇰🇷) and sing.
