About
MY BACKGROUND
I am a rising fifth-year doctoral candidate in Media Psychology & Communication Studies at Northwestern University.
My research focuses on persuasive messaging, including the psycho-social effects of mass media, the role of entertainment narratives in social behavior change, and the development of strategies to counter social media misinformation.
My work has been published in several peer-reviewed outlets, including the Journal of Health Communication, Health Communication, and the Journal of Applied Social Psychology.
