I'm a 4th year PhD Candidate at the University of Florida in the Florida Institute for Cybersecurity Research (FICS) Lab, advised by Dr. Daniela Oliveira. I was extremely fortunate to have been awarded the NSF Scholarship for Service (NSF SFS), which allowed me to explore my research interests in computer privacy and misuse in the context of phishing, mis/disinformation, online advertising, and marginalized communities.
Before moving to Florida, I graduated magna cum laude with a B.S.E. in Electrical Engineering from Arizona State University.
