About me

Hi! I am a National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellow and doctoral candidate in the Ph.D. in Education program at Rutgers Graduate School of Education.

In my work, I leverage learning science principles and artificial intelligence techniques to iteratively design, develop, and test innovative technologies for STEM teaching, learning, and assessment. Prior to graduate school, I received a B.S. in Mathematics from Louisiana State University through the GeauxTeach program and taught high school math and robotics.

Drawing from my former experience as a math teacher and under the guidance of my Ph.D. advisor Dr. Janice Gobert, my dissertation work focuses on automatically assessing and supporting the ways in which students develop and write about mathematical models in virtual sciences labs within the Inquiry Intelligent Tutoring System (Inq-ITS).
