this is a picture of myself and my cat, rembrandt (remy for short).

hi! my name is pronounced "ah-noon."

i'm a phd student at the klein college of media and communication and researcher at policylab.
my research and teaching interests draw from social psychology, media studies, and public health.


after earning a bachelors in biochemistry from berkeley and a masters in environmental health from george washington, i built a career running health and political communication campaigns for nonprofits and governments.

i was fascinated by the questions of why people act the way they do based on the people and the media they interact with.

to find answers to my questions, i use tools like interviewing, focus groups, surveys, and webscraping.
