Job Search Materials
I am finishing my Ph.D. in Spring 2010 and am searching for human-computer interaction and design oriented research positions in industrial research labs and academia.
About me
I am a PhD Candidate in the Georgia Institute of Technology's School of Interactive Computing and work on Human Computer Interaction and Design. In my dissertation, I investigate how culturally different groups appropriate Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) for faith-related purposes or techno-spiritual practices. This research is supervised by my committee: Rebecca E. Grinter, Ph.D. (advisor), Elizabeth D. Mynatt, Ph.D., James D. Foley, Ph.D., Genevieve Bell, Ph.D. (Intel), and Jodi Forlizzi, Ph.D., (Carnegie Mellon).
Prior to coming to GaTech, I received a master's degree from Cornell University. During my time there I worked with Phoebe Sengers and the Culturally Embedded Computing Group. My undergraduate degree is in Industrial Design and History from Carnegie Mellon University. In the past, I worked as a professional industrial designer for Libbey Inc. in Toledo, Ohio. I have also worked as a design researcher with Intel's User-Centered Design Group, Microsoft Research, Intel Research, and S.C. Johnson Inc.
