I am a first year PhD student working at the intersection of everyday ubiquitous computing and interactive and collaborative technologies, with a Graduate Feminist Emphasis. I study with Prof. Paul Dourish in the Laboratory for Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction. I also work with Prof. Gillian Hayes.

My research interests are everyday privacy strategies in collaboration, postcolonial computing, and feminist research practice.

Previously, I spent four years at Google as a User Experience Designer on a range of products including AdWords, Page Creator, Notebook, and some other things that haven't seen the light of day yet. My focus was on early stage design research, information architecture, and interaction design. I have an M.S. in Computer Science specializing in Human-Computer Interaction, a B.S. in Computer Science with honors in Science, Technology, and Society from Stanford Unviersity.
