I am an Assistant Professor in Informatics in the School of Information and Computer Sciences at University of California, Irvine. At UCI I am a faculty researcher in the LUCI lab for ubiquitous computing and interaction and am a member of the executive board for the Center for Organizational Research (COR).

My interests revolve around the experience of communication technologies as used in-practice within organizational and personal contexts, specifically in relation to identity projection and the nature of time in the digital age. I have conducted a variety of ethnographic and qualitative research on individual experience and social dynamics that emerge when people enact and adapt to using wireless modes of communication.

The Informatics department allows me the opportunity to teach a variety of interdisciplinary courses at both the underrgraduate and graduate level and I have the pleasure of working with a variety of excellent doctoral students.

I earned my PhD in Organization Studies from the MIT Sloan School of Management in 2009 and a MSI in Information Economics, Management and Policy from the University of Michigan School of Information in 2002
