ABOUT ME
I am a Global One Health Fellow and a Ph.D. candidate in the Communication, Rhetoric, and Digital Media Program at North Carolina State University. My research explores intercultural health risk communication, information design and architecture, and digital rhetoric of emerging technologies, with a focus on social justice in the global context. My work has been published in the Journal of Rhetoric, Professional Communication, and Globalization, International Journal of Human-Computer Interaction, Asian Journal of Communication and ACM SIGDOC Proceedings. My work on intercultural poster design also won First Place at the 40th ACM SIGDOC.
