I bring 6+ years of experience as a product analyst in EdTech to my current pursuit of a second master’s degree in data science at Duke University. My expertise in user analysis, product design, and balancing data privacy with business needs, combined with my growing technical skills, has fueled my interest in usable security, privacy, and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI).
Driven by the privacy and security challenges I encountered in my previous work, I shifted my focus from language education to data science to explore how privacy concerns affect the adoption of new technologies. I am actively seeking Ph.D. opportunities for Fall 2025 to research how human factors shape security practices and develop solutions that build trust and make technology safer and more accessible.
