I am an Assistant Teaching Professor in the Department of Information Science at Cornell University. My teaching and research focus on human-AI interaction in programming systems, with a particular interest in building programming support for non-programmers. I am also interested in understanding how programmers of all kinds reason about code and debugging, and how we can design programming systems to better support their needs.

I completed my MS and PhD in Computer Science at UC San Diego in the Programming Systems Group. My PhD dissertation was Human-Centered Design for Live and Responsive Programming Systems. Before then, I received a BA in Computer Science and Cognitive & Linguistic Sciences at Wellesley College.

Outside of my day job as a computer scientist, I am an amateur figure skater, pianist, and flutist. Random facts about me
