Welcome
I am an assistant professor at Hamilton College with a focus on Human-Centered Computing. I currently run the MoCHI Research Group, an undergraduate-only research lab focused on building systems that help people collaborate.
Before joining Hamilton, I was a Roman Family Teaching and Research Fellow at Barnard College. I received my PhD in August 2019 at the University of Florida with Dr. Jaime Ruiz as my adviser. Before joining UF, I graduated with a B.S. in Computer Science from Montana State University in 2013, followed by an M.S. in Computer Science at Colorado State University in 2015.
My current research interests include supporting collaborative research activities, natural user interfaces for mobile devices and wearables, and promoting accessibility in computer science education. For more information about some of my research projects, visit my lab’s website.
At Hamilton College, I am proud to promote and support womxn and other underrepresented students in Computer Science by engaging in outreach. I am also thrilled to be an AiiCE Affiliate and founding member of Colorado State University’s ACM-W.
OFFICE HOURS
Office hours are open to students in my classes, to Hamilton students interested in computer science, and really to any Hamilton student, to join me for one-on-one time for conversation, discussion, and questions regarding my classes, the CS concentration at Hamilton, HCI, or other related topics. If that’s you, you can drop in at any time during my office hours.
Starting Summer 2025, my office hours will be by appointment only and are subject to availability, as I will be on sabbatical. To schedule an appointment, contact me via email. If you are feeling ill or have been recently exposed to a virus, please contact me via email to schedule a Zoom appointment.
