Bio:

I am an Embedded EthiCS Postdoctoral Fellow at Stanford University’s Institute for Human-Centered AI and Center for Ethics in Society. My research interest is in centering environmental justice in computing education through empowerment of youth in communities disparately impacted by climate change. I also embed ethics into undergraduate computer science courses. I engage with computing education, human-computer interaction, and AI ethics research communities.

I completed my PhD at the University of Washington Information School with Prof. Amy Ko, where I was a National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellow and also a research intern at non-profit Code.org. Prior to my PhD, I was an MIT EECS-Google Research and Innovation Scholar as an undergraduate and Master’s student at MIT researching with Prof. Hal Abelson and MIT App Inventor.
