About

Hello! I am a PhD student in Education at the University of Southern California, with a concentration in Educational Psychology. My research interests are in how educational technology and the design of digital learning experiences can empower and support students. Specifically, I am interested in the topics of accessibility and inclusion and how they relate to identity and decision-making within education.
