Hello.

I am a Senior Instructor in the Department of Computer Science at Portland State University. I am also the Freedom, Privacy, and Technology cluster coordinator for University Studies.

I teach courses in introductory computer science, human-computer interaction, and computing & society.

I also work to make computer science more broadly accessible, relevant, and welcoming. I am developing a new intro CS class at PSU; I am co-director of CyberPDX, a summer camp for broadening participation in cybersecurity; and I am the faculty advisor for the PSU We in Computer Science (WiCS) student organization.

I conduct research about the promises, threats, and impacts of contemporary computing. I’ve studied: labor and the future of work, philanthropy and social change, microbial science, suburban family life, and possibilities for disconnection on the Pacific Crest Trail.
