About Me

I am a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Maryland's Information School, where I work with Dr. Amanda Lazar at The Health Aging and Technology Lab. My research sits at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW), and technology design. I focus on understanding how emerging technologies can serve as meaningful additions to older adults’ lives as they navigate changes in aging and cognitive abilities.

Previously, I worked with Dr. Sang Won Lee at Virginia Tech, developing interactive systems to facilitate empathy among users.
