  • I am a fourth-year PhD student who will be going on the academic job market next year.



  • My work is motivated by the underrepresentation of women and people who identify as Black, Native, and/or Latinx in computing.



  • I am interested in how showing students ways that computing can help society might interest them in pursuing the field.
