Projects
Other work
Teaching, tools, and hands-on/creative work that influences how I think, conduct research, and operate as a person and global citizen.
Epistemic Reframer
An interactive tool that analyzed drug policy texts to detect their underlying epistemic framing(s), and reframes them through alternative lenses. Built at the intersection of policy analysis, philosophy of knowledge, and a deliberately grotesque bubblegum Y2K MySpace aesthetic for the campy fun of it all. Intended for use in future dissertation research, with a potential public release to follow.
PSYCH 306 — Research Methods in Psychology
Teaching assistant for an undergraduate research methods course at the University of Auckland. Supported students in developing quantitative and qualitative research skills, study design, data analysis/R programming, and Kaupapa Māori research principles.
Statistics for Policy Analysis II
Teaching assistant for a graduate-level econometrics course at the RAND School of Public Policy, supporting students in econometric study design, Stata/R programming, and advanced quantitative methods for public policy research.
Direct harm reduction services
Worked directly in harm reduction, providing needle exchange services, drug purity testing, and street medicine to people who use drugs. This work is where my research commitments became personal — and where I learned that the gap between policy and lived experience is measured in human lives.
