I am an Embedded Ethics Postdoctoral Fellow at Stanford University’s Institute for Human-Centered AI and McCoy Family Center for Ethics in Society. I will start as an Assistant Professor at the University of Denver Department of Computer Science in fall 2025. My research interest is in designing critical and equitable human-data interactions for educational and environmental outcomes. I engage with computing education, human-computer interaction, and AI ethics research communities.

I completed my PhD at the University of Washington Information School with Prof. Amy Ko, where I was a National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellow and also a research intern at non-profit Code.org. Prior to my PhD, I was an MIT EECS-Google Research and Innovation Scholar as an undergraduate and Master’s student at MIT researching with Prof. Hal Abelson and MIT App Inventor.
