Software should be both powerful and intuitive. I'm interested in identifying how technology can really make an impact on people's daily lives and finding innovative ways to create software to satisfy this need. I look forward to using my technical background  in scientific, web, and application programming to meet these goals.

There are few common threads in my life thus far at the ripe old age of 23 - but the strongest one? Solving problems. Whether its arts advocacy, educational content design, equity in education or basic usability - I love a good problem to fix. I look forward to applying my experience from this class to solve great problems in museums, classroom environments & more!

I have a background in cognitive science, and have spent the past two years researching multitaskers and interfaces for multitasking with the Stanford CHIMe Lab and the Stanford Memory Lab. I'm hoping to find a job in research/development of communication technology.  I also had a great time working on Toonables!
