Assistant Professor
My research spans multiple disparate but interconnected areas, including equity-based approaches to Universal Design for Learning, the health and well-being experiences of disabled learners, and digital supports for educational stakeholders. Specifically, I am interested in (re)designing complex and technical problems to meet diverse learning needs and develop cross sector strategies to address persistent inequities/disparities. In my free time, I am passionate about working with like-minded partners to serve under-resourced communities. I believe it is integral to give back to my community by using my professional experiences and skills to support placed based approaches.
