I began working as Assistant Professor in Computer Graphics and Technology at Purdue University in August 2020. I research interactions between technology design, computing research practices, and Disability Justice.
I earned my PhD in Human Centered Computing from the University of Florida’s Computer and Information Sciences and Engineering Department. I was a student in Dr. Juan Gilbert’s Human Experience Research Lab studying the interactions between Technology and Disability Justice.
I have over 10 years of industry experience in video game development, system design, and 3D modeling and animation. I have also taught undergraduate level coursework in game design, 3D modeling, animation, and storytelling.
I live in the Greater Lafayette, IN area, with my husband and three children.
