About Me

I study computing education from a critical perspective!

I’m an ABD PhD candidate advised by Aman Yadav and a member of the Justice, Education, and Technology (JET) Lab in MSU’s Educational Psychology & Educational Technology (EPET) program.

I am on the job market, looking for academic jobs which start in Fall 2025!

Announcements

Our work on epistemic tensions in integrating computational thinking into humanities was published in the journal Computer Science Education!

🎉 I passed my dissertation proposal defense! “Computing is changing the world for better and for worse, but computing education has largely been uncritical of its effect on society. Teachers need to prepare students to question the narratives of the tech industry, especially in K-12 where students are learning how to actively participate in democracy. I will research how K-12 computing teachers integrate critical perspectives into their classrooms by co-designing lessons with them.”

I gave a 5 min talk about my research (practice recording available here), at MSU Ignite Talks which was covered by local news.

🎉 I passed my comprehensive exams, which means that I am now a doctoral candidate!
