PhD Candidate, Information and Education
I'm a doctoral candidate in a dual program in Information and Educational Studies. My research sits between computing education, learning sciences, and speculative education. I regularly work in making and makerspace contexts, aiming to better understand how youth of color work to (re)define, (re)organize, and (re)imagine making and makerspaces, especially as they are used with STEM-oriented learning environments. Through my work, I aim to surface alternative futures for engaging in STEM disciplines that center the desires of the youth and their communities.
