about.
Lecturer, UCLA MLIS Program
I served as a Lecturer in UCLA’s MLIS program, where I designed and taught a graduate-level course on data management and documentation practices across the GLAM sector. The course focused on building systems that make records and data discoverable, usable, and intelligible over time, with emphasis on metadata design, workflow documentation, stewardship decisions, and long-term maintenance of digital collections and data infrastructures.

Guest Lecturer, Digital Humanities (Graduate Level)
I have guest lectured for graduate-level Digital Humanities courses on the use and limits of machine learning in cultural heritage contexts. These lectures examined image classification and clustering methods, including ResNet-50, and addressed what such models can and cannot reveal when applied to museum collections. I emphasized critical evaluation of training data, interpretability, bias, and the risks of over-claiming computational insight in curatorial and archival settings.
Teaching Assistant & Guest Lecturer, Digital Humanities (Undergraduate Level)
As a Teaching Assistant for an undergraduate Digital Humanities course on social media data analytics, I taught Python-based data analysis methods, including data collection, cleaning, and exploratory analysis of platform data. I also guest lectured on proprietary social media algorithms, focusing on how visibility, ranking, and engagement are engineered by platform systems, and how these dynamics shape culture, labor, and access to information.
