About me
I’m a junior studying Information Systems and Human-Computer Interaction at Carnegie Mellon University, graduating in May 2027.
I design human-centered Systems for learning, wellness, and motivation.
I’ve conducted research on AI tutors vs. teachable agents using Self-Determination Theory; worked on AR/VR wellness simulations with Meta Quest 3 and session analytics; and contributed to projects in AI service design and product development.
Currently seeking Summer 2026 internship opportunities!

What I do
Research & Insight
If you are curious about learning, communication, or motivation, I can provide research-based perspectives shaped by work with AI tutors, AR/VR wellness, and digital service design.
Design & Systems
An effective design process connects ideas with people. I translate complex challenges into structured prototypes that are functional, engaging, and inclusive.
Build & Experiment
If you are looking for ideas that move into practice, I can deliver. I develop applications and prototypes, refining them through iteration and testing.
