About

My work explores the relationship between technology design and culture.

My research sits at the intersection of cultural studies, learning science, and design. I am currently exploring the role of Latinx cultural practices on technology design and use; how marginalized groups envision the use of open data; and emerging sociocultural practices around digital wellness.

I am currently an Assistant Professor at Fordham University, in the Communication and Media Studies department.
