I am an incoming Assistant Teaching Professor at the University of Washington Bothell. I recently completed my doctoral studies from the University of Washington, advised by Dr. Jaime Snyder.
I have a Master in Human-Centered Design and Engineering. I worked in the technology industry as a program manager, product planner, and accessibility strategist.
I am passionate about inclusive, human-computer interaction (HCI). I lead research and interaction design initiatives for designing intuitive and innovative technology products that fit into our lives. I use participatory design and research methods. For my doctoral research, I conducted grounded design research to envision communication and affective computing that accounts for the social, emotional, and sensory experiences of autistic adults.
I am excited to bring my inclusive lens to human-computer interaction and software engineering pedagogy. Through scholarship and collaborations, I aim to work with diverse, creative teams dedicated to developing knowledge, education, and technology for social good.

Based on my research on autism discourse on Twitter, I was interviewed for a Gizmodo article on the potential use of an automatic sarcasm detector.

At Microsoft, helped researched and design the Windows Vista Ease of Access Center.
