Hello there! I am a fourth-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 examines how generative AI, learner dispositions, and design-based approaches shape effective, inclusive, and human-centered learning experiences across computing, engineering, and teacher education.
