This is me

​I am an experienced educator with an extensive background in secondary science education, specializing in strategic turnaround of under-performing schools, Curriculum Development, Restorative Practices, Behavioral Interventions and Supports, Cultural Competence, and Inquiry-Based Learning. I’ve helped students develop skills that go beyond the classroom

 

I am also a curious academic mind currently utilizing historical data, biometric information, and environmental factors to provide insights into optimal training strategies, nutrition, pacing, and injury prevention for athletes of all level. I am exploring how data-driven technologies can promote social connection, motivation, and community among athletes through shared physiological data such as heart rate, while balancing privacy and customization needs.

 

Project-Based Learning Human-Centered Computing  Health Promotion 
K-12 Adapting Learning Physiological  Optimization Nutrition 

Biofeedback Collaboration   Collaborative Planning Athletes Optimization

Health Communication  Biohacking Research and development

Interests 

As an emerging HCI researcher, I am looking for opportunities to collaborate on any of my current, future projects, or interests, whether machine learning, sports collaboration, identity and self-determination through sport, K-12 adaptive learningetc.

I am broadly working on investigating the relationship between integration of sensor technologies and wearables, athlete performance prediction and analysis, collaborative and intelligent training platforms with real-time feedback, self-actualization through collaboration, and long term motivation and exercise retention through collaborative biofeedback

Thank you for following my preparations as I geared up to represent Team USA at the Multisport World Championship in Australia last summer ('24). The journey continues....
