About

I’m a research and data analyst at the Mozilla Foundation’s Insights Team, where I’m researching data governance and AI training datasets. I also support the Internet Health Report and the IRL podcast with fact-checking, reviewing and proposing research publications to highlight, and proposing data visualizations. Before working at 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.

My research broadly asks how datafication affects democratic visions and practices. With ‘datafication’ I do not simply mean that more and more aspects of our social life are being quantified, but that the ways in which data is perceived and understood is changing. 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.
