I'm a PhD student at Harvard University studying Computer Science and Human-Computer Interaction.

My research lies at the intersection of computer science and design, focusing on intelligent user interfaces for niche communities in accessibility and education. As a human-computer interaction (HCI) researcher, I explore how intentional and inclusive technology design can empower people in their everyday interactions with technology. A core consideration of my work is rooted in the politics of design and the importance of centering marginalized voices in the design process. Similarly, I believe in the danger of technology that is haphazardly placed in the world without considering broader social and ethical systems. In education, I am passionate about creating creative, critical, and equitable learning experiences in computing and design. Beyond, I am deeply committed to increasing participation and belonging in computing and design through teaching, mentorship, and community building.

I tend to write about the intersection of technology and design. And whatever else makes it out of my drafts.
