Hey! I'm Hanna. I'm a first-year Human Factors master's student at George Mason University working on research in human-technology interaction. Most of my work centers on human-AI and human-robot interaction. I received my bachelors' degrees in Psychology and Cognitive Science from University of Delaware. I'm a fan of the human mind and studying behavior, digital design, social interaction, photography, writing, translating ideas into words into art and back into ideas, annotating books, movie commentary, and being a fan of things. Previously, I've interned at Amazon in human resources, done a bit of copywriting for a small health and wellbeing startup, tutored students in writing, and worked in a social neuroscience lab as a research assistant.
