About me:

I am a second-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Notre Dame, advised and mentored by Dr. Karla Badillo-Urquiola at the EPOCH Research Lab. My research endeavors focus on fostering inclusivity by amplifying the voices of underrepresented and minority communities (such as foster youth, adolescents with disabilities, and users from the global south, etc.). Through the lens of Human-Computer Interaction, my research aims to contribute to the design and development of technologies that prioritize the safety and well-being of these marginalized groups. With a commitment to responsible computing and online privacy, I aspire to bridge gaps in technology accessibility and advocate for a more inclusive digital landscape. When I'm not doing research, you may find me either working out, playing football or cycling on my bike.
