teens & my students in community engaged research.

I am currently on the
job market!

🤝 Teen work makes the dream work! ☁️

Through a lens of adolescent development, I actively work to center the voices and insight of teens within my community-engaged research. As experts in their own lived experiences, young people must co-design the technology and platforms of the future.

Ongoing Projects 🧠📲

These collaborations currently live rent-free in my mind.
