I am a PhD student in Human-Computer Interaction at Carnegie Mellon University. My advisors are Anind Dey and Sara Kiesler. Here is my CV.

I have a BS with Honors in Informatics from the University of California, Irvine. My undergraduate research was advised by Gillian Hayes.

I am an NSF Graduate Research Fellow, a Microsoft Research Graduate Women’s Scholar, and a Google Anita Borg Scholar.

I am also a dancer trained in ballet, jazz, tap, hip hop, contemporary, and ballroom.

 

My research explores how ubiquitous computing can support collaborative management of disorders. Drawing from psychology and sociology, I study what role technology can play in the interactions between patients and their clinicians, family members, and fellow patients.

I use primarily qualitative and ethnographic methods to understand individual and social experiences surrounding interactions with technology. My work informs the design of usable, likable, and adoptable systems. I am currently focusing on systems for autism and bipolar disorder.
