I'm a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of Toronto (UofT), co-supervised by Professors Carolina Nobre and Michael Liut. Professor Tovi Grossman previously supervised me for my MSc degree at UofT. My research focuses on using interactive visualizations to improve introductory programming education, enhancing student belonging and engagement online, and exploring the role of reflective prompts in flipped classrooms. 

I'm grateful to be supported by several academic awards, including the NSERC Postgraduate Scholarship – Doctoral (PGS D)*, the Bell Graduate Scholarship, the Ontario Graduate Scholarship (OGS), the Institute for Pandemics Graduate Studentship, and the E.A. Robinson Medal for Excellence in Science.

Outside research, I serve on the Graduate Education Council at the University of Toronto and work with ACM-W North America to create opportunities for marginalized groups in computing. In my free time, I enjoy tracking solar flares, creating chibis, crocheting toys, and discussing philosophy over coffee.
