I am a Ph.D. student at the Department of Communication, Michigan State University. I study interpersonal communication (IPC) and new communication technologies in relationship processes. For example, what kinds of social support do people want (vs. need)? How can IPC and technologies (e.g., chatbots, algorithms, online dating) be leveraged to create better personal & social relationships and enhance personal well-being? I have published in high-impact journals such as CyberPsychology as the first/sole author. I have also reviewed papers for high-impact journals such as Social Media & Society. In addition, my sole-authored work won a top student paper award at ICA.
