I am a second year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign, studying Human-Computer Interaction with Prof. Brian Bailey. I previously earned my B.A. summa cum laude from Knox College in Galesburg, IL with a major in Computer Science and a self-designed minor in Renaissance/Medieval Studies. I have always been interested in both fields, and in addition to my current research, I am particularly excited about projects that combine the two areas. When not studying or working at school, I also run a small craft business, Realms of Legend (realmsoflegend.etsy.com), for which I create handmade items inspired by fantasy and sci-fi series that I love, as well as past eras of our own world. Conferences attended: CHI 2017 (Dever, CO) weSTEM 2017 (Urbana, IL) ICER 2015 (Omaha, NE) Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing 2014 (Phoenix, AZ)
