(doctoral student ... Media Psychology PhD in progress)
Hi 👋🏽, my name is Mayra and I'm both a media psychologist and a cyberpsychologist passionate about:
1) creating humane and benevolent interactions between users and a wide range of cybertechnologies
2) fostering positive media experiences, and deepening media literacy, for audiences and populations
3) designing ethical and facilitated experiences to improve processes and outcomes wherever humans and machines collaborate
And perhaps, most importantly:
"Luminous Beings Are We, Not This Crude Matter.”
Nope, I'm not averse to algorithms, AI, or technology. Just the opposite, really. I love technology and fully recognize its long history as an instrumental and collaborative part of everyday human life across centuries.
But for as much as I truly do enjoy and respect technology, and appreciate its positive derivatives, I absolutely love humanity even more. As a media and cyberpsychologist, I'm all about improving and expanding our meaningful relationships with technology in relevant, psychologically-sound and ethical ways that preserve (and promote) our humanity at their very core.
