I design learning technologies that center students' lived experiences and expand access to Computer Science education in sustainable, culturally grounded ways. My research sits at the intersection of Computing Education, Game Design, Equity, and Human-Computer Interaction, and is driven by a commitment to representation, identity development, and long-term impact.
I teach Education Technology Foundations where students evaluate the efficacy of education technologies using different learning science theories and socio-cultural factors, and redesign them for better user engagement and learning. I also teach Quantitative Research Methods. Students will explore core concepts in data preparation, descriptive and inferential statistics, regression modeling, and ethical analysis without relying on mathematical proofs or complex formulas. Through hands-on examples and guided coding exercises in R, participants will learn to clean and manipulate real world datasets, visualize patterns, test relationships, and critically evaluate quantitative research papers.
