I study how sustained AI use reshapes professional judgment. Specifically, how it alters the attentional, epistemic, affective, interpretive, and identity orientations that govern autonomous thinking. I work with Dr. Kaveh Abhari, with publications at HCII, ECIS, and AMCIS 2026, and additional empirical manuscripts under review.

I've always learned by doing. I taught myself how to play multiple instruments, photography, chess, sleight of hand card magic (kind of nerdy, I know)......the list goes on. Whatever caught my curiosity, I found a way to just figure it out. That same drive is what drew me to research. I have questions about how AI is changing the way people think and make decisions, and I want to find rigorous answers to them. I also care about education. I've held multiple TA positions at SDSU (as well as helped design experiential learning curriculum), and the opportunity to teach and mentor as a career is a significant part of why I'm pursuing academia.

Before committing to research full-time, I worked as a carpenter, in marketing, an operations manager in SaaS start-ups, and a technology assurance intern at KPMG (among other positions, such as a bartender....I like to keep busy). I'm returning to KPMG in August 2026 as a Technology Assurance Associate. That range of experience reinforced something that has always stood out to me: many questions worth asking can't be fully answered through a single lens. It's why my work sits at the intersection of information systems, organizational design, and cognitive psychology.

I completed my B.S. in Information Systems at San Diego State University in May 2026, Summa Cum Laude. I'm applying to PhD programs for Fall 2027.
