I am an education researcher at the University of Pennsylvania. My work sits at the intersection of digital literacies, youth studies, and critical platform studies — examining how young people participate in digitally mediated environments and how we can design equitable, technology-rich learning spaces.

Current projects: Writing with AI (Penn URF) · Write4Change (NSF) · Digital Discourse (JSMF)
