About me:

I am a 4th year PhD student at Notre Dame, co-advised by Dr. Ronald Metoyer and Dr. Karla Badillo-Urquiola. My research focuses on leveraging emerging technologies to address inefficiencies and barriers affecting marginalized and vulnerable groups. A key part of my work involves addressing knowledge management challenges for community service providers who assist populations facing housing insecurity.

Before joining Notre Dame, I earned an MS degree in Computer Science from Boise State University (BSU). During my time at BSU, I collaborated with mentors and colleagues on the People and Information Research team, where I worked on several projects centered on children and online environments.

Outside of work, I enjoy playing video games and singing.

Research Interests:

Human-AI Collaboration, Design Research, Natural Language Processing, and Marginalized Communities.
