About

I am an undergraduate research intern on the TAI X team at Microsoft Research New England, where I work under the supervision of Cecily Morrison. My research interests center on accessibility, human-computer interaction, and the design of inclusive intelligent systems.

I am a senior undergraduate computer science student at the University of Arkansas. Prior to joining MSR, I completed a Research Experiences for Undergraduates at the University of Washington’s DUB group, focused on nonvisual interaction and accessible computing. My work is guided by an interest in understanding how people with disabilities experience and navigate information-rich environments, and in designing systems that are more inclusive, legible, and usable for a broader range of users.
