Violet Grace Vaughan is a professor at the University of Sydney. She earned her Ph.D. from the University of Melbourne in 2018. Violet has dedicated her career to exploring how emerging digital platforms influence personal and professional relationships (including online identity, relationship building, authenticity, and community trust) and their impact on individuals' confidence and mental health.

In recent months, Violet embarked on several fascinating ventures. One project focused on the role of virtual reality in enhancing remote work collaboration. Another delved into the ways social media engagement can foster resilience among young adults. She also spearheaded an initiative to evaluate the sincerity of personal narratives shared on digital storytelling platforms. Through her work, Violet aims to bridge the gap between technology and human connection, ensuring that as our world becomes more digitized, we do not lose sight of the importance of genuine interaction.
