I study how AI becomes embedded in the cognitive routines through which professionals interpret information and make decisions. My research examines the mechanisms through which AI becomes internalized in everyday thinking, and whether that process strengthens or erodes the regulatory capacity that defines autonomous judgment. This work has direct implications for how organizations design AI systems, train their workforce, and assign accountability in AI-augmented roles. I'm currently conducting research in the Digital Innovation Lab at San Diego State University, with publications in HCII 2026 and a manuscript under review at ECIS 2026. I plan to apply to PhD programs for Fall 2027 with the goal of pursuing a scholar-practitioner career that bridges rigorous research with organizational practice.
