Publications

Exciting news! I was invited to submit an article on my research to the SJSU School of Information Student Research Journal. I think it is one of my best works!

Dissertation

The dissertation has been officially published; however, please excuse the horrible grammar errors…this was submitted for publication at a time when my family was having a health crisis and I apparently submitted a rough draft as a final copy. No one caught it!
