After a long five years, it was a race to the finish, as I defended my dissertation and graduated last week! So many thank yous, especially to my committee and to my family and friends who made it a proper celebration!




Very excited to be starting as a National Library of Medicine Postdoc in Biomedical Health Informatics @UW next week, where I'll be working with @ProfWanda to explore how accessibility and disability perspectives can shape health-related technologies!
I will be presenting my work on TikTok captioning tomorrow (Monday 5/13) in the 2-3:20 PM Online Communities - Engagement B session in room 313C! programs.sigchi.org/chi/2024/progr…
I finally wrote this paper, and it's now published at #CHI2024! I will be at CHI and am on the job market, looking for postdoc positions. I do interdisciplinary accessibility research -- if you're looking to add that expertise to your team, I'd love to talk!
I am defending my dissertation in one month 😱😱 If you’d like to learn about my work, which brings a collective access approach to the design of captioning technologies, fill out this form to join me on Zoom on June 6 at 10:30 AM Pacific! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
