I am a fifth year doctoral candidate at the University of Michigan School of Information, where I am working on my PhD in Information Science and advised by Dr. Patricia Garcia. I am pursuing a graduate certificate in Digital Studies, and Science, Technology, and Society (STS) studies. I am an affiliated researcher with the Center for Ethics, Society, and Computing (ESC), and a member of the Just/Tech Lab. I began working as a Graduate Editorial Fellow at the Catalyst: Feminism, Theory, Technoscience journal May 2026.
My work is situated in the fields of Social Computing, Women and Gender Studies (WGS), and Feminist Science, Technology and Society studies (STS), primarily investigating the connections between technology, power, bodily autonomy, and reproductive (in)justice.
Prior to starting my PhD, I graduated from the University of Michigan with my Master of Health Informatics and Master of Urban and Regional Planning with a focus on Data Analytics and UX Research in 2021. I also received my Bachelor of Arts in English Language and Literature with a minor in Arab and Muslim American Studies from the University of Michigan in 2018.
My work has been published in CSCW. I am a recipient of the Margaret Mann Award (’21), the top graduate student award UMSI grants for future promise through evidence of accomplishment and service at UMSI. I was also selected as a UMSI Merit Scholar when beginning my doctoral program.
I enjoy trying new recipes, spending time with my family and cat, and exploring new cities and amusement parks with my loved ones.

⭐️What am I currently up to?⭐️
I just returned from parental leave after welcoming my son Laith back in February! Now, I’m back to work and balancing being a PhD Candidate, and Mom. I’m continuing working on my dissertation this summer, and am in the midst of data collection for both my dissertation studies. 😀 I’ve also recently joined the Catalyst journal as a Graduate Editorial Fellow.
