Biography
Originally from the Seattle area, I got my Bachelor's in Psychology from Whitman College in 2016. After that, I spent 5 years at Amazon working as both a Technical Recruiter and Program Manager. During MIMS, I focused on people analytics and user research. I’m interested in the ways that companies define and operationalize their core values into recruiting practices. My capstone research is on algorithmic bias in recruiting systems, and evaluates the ways that AI-enabled recruiting tools come to influence perceptions of candidate prototypicality within the tech industry.
