About

I have a background in media and journalism studies and published about data practices and data cultures across different industries. At the Mozilla Foundation, where I worked as a senior researcher, I studied data governance and AI training data datasets, and supported the organization’s ongoing campaigns and policy work. I also supported the Internet Health Report and the IRL podcast with fact-checking, reviewing and proposing research publications and data visualizations to include. Before Mozilla, I completed a PhD at the research center for media and journalism studies at the University of Groningen, where I wrote a dissertation about the relationship between data journalism and civic tech. I have also been a fellow at the Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society, as well as a fellow and associate researcher the Weizenbaum Institute, where I studied transnational collaborations and the role of leaks in investigate journalism.

I mostly employ qualitative methods (interviews, ethnography), but also have experience in quantitative methods like surveys or Digital Methods. My research has been published in journals such as Big Data & Society and Digital Journalism.
