Welcome! My name is Sienna Helena Parker. I am currently an third-year Ph.D. Candidate in Technology Management at UC Santa Barbara's College of Engineering.

My research explores the nexus of digitalization of work and the aging of the workforce. Currently, I am studying the impacts of algorithmic reputation systems for older knowledge workers transitioning from conventional, full-time employment to platform-mediated freelancing.  Broadly, I am interested in the topics of occupations and professions, careers, and temporality. 

I received my BS in Learning and Organizational Change from Northwestern's School of Education and Social Policy in 2018. After graduation, I spent three years working in Silicon Valley, including LinkedIn and a housing technology start-up called Villa Homes.
