Hi! I study technology and social work.

About

I study how social workers use technology and AI. My research spans several areas: how social workers use technology and AI, how digital social work practice can be developed, and how social workers can use text to engage youths and other service users. I practiced previously as a social worker in a family service center. I hold a PhD from UNC-Chapel Hill School of Social Work and is an Assistant Professor at NUS. I lead the SWAT Lab.

Collaborate

I’m always interested in connecting with social workers, researchers, and students who share similar research interests.

For students: I’m happy to discuss ideas for Honors thesis projects. I also have Undergraduate Research Opportunities (UROP) available.
