Hello there! I am a third-year Ph.D. student in the Learning Design and Technology program at Purdue University, co-advised by Dr. William R. Watson and Dr. Marisa Exter. I hold a master’s degree in Educational Assessment and Evaluation and a bachelor’s degree in Mathematics Education.

My research focuses on competency-based education in computing, self-regulation strategies, and the development of dispositions to enhance learning experiences in higher education.
