I am a doctoral candidate at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's School of Information and Library Science. My dissertation looks at how people use social network sites for support during a life transition. I am also interested in privacy in social networks, as well as the decisions people make when constructing their online identities. My advisor is Gary Marchionini.
Teaching: I am not teaching in Fall 2010.
