Research Interests: I am passionate about human-centered computing, with a focus on improving social outcomes and technology for marginalized communities (e.g., Black, Latino, and neurodiverse groups). My research explores how social conditions shape our lived experiences, while seeking to create tools and strategies that enhance how marginalized groups engage with and benefit from technology.
