CV

I am a fourth-year PhD student in criminal justice. My dissertation examines public and student responses to reporting concerning behaviors of potential mass shooters, a critical aspect of proactive crime prevention. I serve as one of the Undergraduate Development Coordinators for UC CYBORG. I help oversee research and coding training for undergraduate students through bi-weekly meetings. My research interests are broad, encompassing public opinion on crime, police responses to school shootings, online extremism, mass shooter manifestos, and hate crimes committed in online spaces. I have worked on diverse projects, including studies on violent crime, the opioid crisis, domestic terrorism, mass public shootings, K-12 school shootings, and police de-escalation training programs. I have both quantitative and qualitative projects, with my dissertation also using a mixed methods approach to include a national survey, college student survey, and interviews. I’m dedicated to involving undergrads in research & building community connections that support their growth beyond the classroom.
