Learning Scientist.
Educator.
Tinkerer.
I'm a Learning Sciences and Technology Design PhD student at Stanford.
My work is focused on how learners collaborate and form communities with peers, near-peers and mentors in online (and hybrid) courses. I build learning tools, design courses, conduct UX research and work with faculty to create meaningful learning experiences guided by the science of learning.
Occasionally I tweet, sometimes I write, and I'm always happy to talk.
A little more about me
What I believe
I am driven by the fundamental belief in the power of human-centric technological tools to create equitable access to meaningful learning experiences. I am motivated to work on initiatives/projects that use the power of community and collaboration to drive networked access to quality education.
My Current Work
My work is focused on how learners collaborate and form communities with peers, near-peers and mentors in online (and hybrid) courses. I build learning tools, design courses, conduct UX research and work with faculty to create meaningful learning experiences guided by the science of learning. I have led cross functional teams, conducted mixed-methods research studies, and authored thought leadership on innovation in education.
My Past Work
Before Stanford I built a high school computer science department, designed and implemented a personalized blended learning program at a charter school, and got my Master's in Education from Harvard.
Consulting
I consult with Ed Tech companies like Noodle and Synthesis, to create collaborative learning experiences at scale.
Personal
When I'm not working, you can find me riding my bike, exploring national parks, mentoring students and searching for delicious sandwiches. I am currently based in New York City.
