Job title

R&D of Civic Media/PhD Student

Brief Bio

I investigate how digital media foster civic learning and participation. My prior work addressed social issue videogames, online volunteering in the fight on extreme poverty, and training high school youth to become more global citizens. I am currently studying how civic media adoption is affected by organizational culture and conflicting frames of citizenship.

Previously, I co-founded Games for Change, was a program officer at the MacArthur Foundation, managed programs and research at NetAid/Mercy Corps, and was a producer at ProQuest/Bigchalk.
