-Hello! I am a cybersecurity researcher building tools and processes to protect user privacy. I am currently a Privacy Engineer in the [Comcast Cyber Security](https://corporate.comcast.com/ccs-research) research team helping build privacy threat modeling processes. I hold a PhD in Security Informatics from [Indiana University Bloomington](https://luddy.indiana.edu/index.html) where I worked on privacy-preserving technologies in conversational platforms with [Professor L. Jean Camp](https://www.ljean.com/). My research interests are in inclusive and usable privacy. 
+Hello! I am a cybersecurity researcher working at the intersection of policy and emerging technologies. I also lead the inventorying workstream for the Post-Quantum Cryptography center at Comcast. I am currently a Public Policy Researcher in the [Comcast Cyber Security](https://corporate.comcast.com/ccs-research) team (led by the amazing [Dr. Vaibhav Garg](https://www.linkedin.com/in/gargvaibhav/)). I was previously working in the same team as a Privacy Engineer, helping build privacy threat modeling processes within the organization (and also open-sourcing them!). I hold a PhD in Security Informatics from [Indiana University Bloomington](https://luddy.indiana.edu/index.html) where I worked on privacy-preserving technologies in conversational platforms with [Professor L.
