I am a fourth-year Ph.D. student in the Human-Centered Computing program at the Georgia Institute of Technology. My research focuses on designing infrastructure and interfaces for health self-management and patient empowerment. I am currently developing Salud!, a platform for supporting the selection and achievement of health goals through tracking and analysis of personal data. My advisor is Professor Elizabeth Mynatt and I work in the everyday computing lab. In 2005, I received a B.S. in Computer Science from Cornell University.
