About
I am an undergraduate student at the University of Manitoba and my current research focuses on older adults and technology! I am currently working on two research projects. One investigates how simulated environments can support older adults in developing online banking skills. The other explores how people think about and plan for the digital artifacts they leave behind after death, with the goal of informing the early design of tools for digital legacy planning.
Previously, I conducted research on the use of in-class programming exercises to support active learning, which involved designing a workbook of exercises and evaluating its effectiveness in introductory computer science courses.
