Welcome!
I am an Assistant Professor at the University of Texas at Austin School of Information. I’m also an affiliate with the Texas Center for Equity Promotion (TexCEP) and the Texas Center for Disability Studies. I co-direct the REALITY Lab, which centers research at the intersection of social justice, information, and technology.
I earned my Ph.D. in Human-Centered Computing from Clemson University School of Computing and my M.S. and B.S. in Computer Science from Rowan University. My research areas are at the intersection of human-centered computing, accessibility, and computing education. I apply human-centered approaches to designing, implementing, and evaluating interventions to improve equity and inclusion in digital learning spaces and narrow the learning gap for vulnerable and underserved populations. I also research ways to expand access to user experience and accessibility learning in K-16 education.
