I'm a PhD student at Harvard University in the Intelligent Interactive Systems Group, advised by Dr. Krzysztof Gajos. My research lies at the intersection of computer science and design, focusing on accessibility, intelligent user interfaces, and computer science education.
I explore how people and computers understand user interfaces, developing intelligent UIs that bridge accessibility gaps and reduce the cognitive barriers between humans and computers. Additionally, my work in CS education focuses on accessible computing and supportive student learning environments. As an HCI researcher and educator, I explore how intentional, inclusive design empowers people, centering community needs across my research, teaching, and service. In education, I am passionate about creating creative, critical, and equitable learning experiences in computing and design.
Prior to Harvard, I completed my bachelor's degree in Computer Science at the University of Washington, working on accessibility research, introductory computer science education/ressearch, and advanced robotics.
