Hi š Iām a fifth-year Ph.D. candidate at the University of Michiganās School of Information (UMSI), advised by Associate Professor Julie Hui, Ph.D., and part of the Socio-Technical Equity in Practice (STEP) lab. My research focuses on how social technologies shape career development in a changing world of work. Iām particularly interested in how using social media affects young peopleās perceptions of the working world and their career aspirations. I rely on interpretivist approaches to qualitative data, including semi-structured interviews, surveys, and content analysis. My work is situated in the fields of social computing/human-computer interaction, communication and media studies, and psychology.

Ongoing research
š Future manufacturing (August 2025-present)
Rapid technological advancements have led to the fourth industrial revolution (or, Industry 4.0) which has especially impacted the US manufacturing industry. In collaboration with UCSD and the engineering department at UM, this project focuses on the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies in manufacturing ecosystems and to identify the challenges and best practices in business strategy and workforce development.
š Perceptions and experiences with career content (August 2025-present)
Career messages can socialize people into the working world by communicating career-related norms and expectations. As part of my dissertation research, I am exploring young adultsā perceptions and experiences with online career messages using a think-aloud protocol.
š Career practitioners and social media (August 2025-present)
Career practitioners are tasked with supporting college students in their career journey. As the working world constantly evolves, it is important for practitioners to obtain timely and relevant information for each young adult they support. Through project explores social media as a site for career information that practitioners may leverage as a resource for career services.
