about me

I am an Assistant Professor at the School of Information at the University of Texas at Austin. I received my doctoral degree from Northwestern University in Technology & Social Behavior, a joint degree in Communications and Computer Science. My research is in the field of Human-Computer Interaction, Computer-Supported Cooperative Work, and Information Sciences. My current research explores how critical and intersectional theoretical lenses can inform an assets-based participatory design of technologies to support historically marginalized groups, such as individuals of color and individuals experiencing homelessness, in pursuing sustainable, emancipatory transformations and socially responsible technology experiences. Through qualitative, participatory design methods, I seek to co-construct knowledge, conscientization, and design interventions with my populations.
