I am an Assistant Professor at Utah State University in the Instructional Technologies and Learning Sciences program. I completed my MA and PhD from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in the Digital Environment for Learning, Teaching, and Agency program, and my BFA in Graphic Design from Iowa State University. Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of California Irvine in the School of Education and Carnegie Mellon in the Human-Computer Interaction Institute. 

​

As a learning scientist and design researcher, I use design-based research and qualitative methods to study how people learn and interact. In partnerships with communities, I co-designs digital and non-digital learning environments and investigate their impact in authentic contexts.
