About Me

I am a PhD Candidate in the Information School at the University of Washington, and am advised by Dr. Jacob O. Wobbrock. My research interests are in Human Computer Interaction, specifically in Accessibility and how we can design socially acceptable technologies that increase access to information and services for people with disabilities. I am a member of the AIM Research Group and DUB.
