About

I'm a PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Calgary, where I am supervised by Lora Oehlberg and co-supervised by James Young at the University of Manitoba. I am broadly interested in studying the design of social robots through qualitative and participatory methodologies. More specifically, my most recent and ongoing work lies at the intersection of social robotics, gerontechnology, and privacy, which I explore through participatory processes.

I previously received a MSc in Computer Science from the University of Calgary in 2025 and a Bachelor of Computer Science from the University of Waterloo in 2023.
