Hello!

I'm a Ph.D. candidate in computing education at UC San Diego.

Before that, I studied neuroscience and computer science at Johns Hopkins University, and I've always loved teaching. When I teach, I often find myself musing about what makes something click for a student—what is it about a certain problem or explanation that changed their understanding?

To find out, I embarked on my graduate studies at UCSD that began in Cognitive Science and transitioned into Computing Education in the Computer Science & Engineering department. My research explores core competencies needed for computing in light of GenAI, and informs my practices as an instructor and professional development facilitator. I hope you enjoy reading about what I've discovered as a researcher and practitioner in education.
