I'm a researcher and PhD candidate at UW-Madison, and I teach kids and adults how to code. I study AI Ethics with mixed methods. My pronouns are she/her/hers.
Find code I've written on github 😼 and glitch 🎏. I'm most proud of my ENA implementation.

In general:
I've taught hybrid, flipped, online, face-to-face, community college, undergrad, graduate, summer coding camps for 4th-12th grades, workforce training, Carpentries workshops, precollege programs, and private tutoring.
For a detailed list, see my vita.
All my teaching materials past a certain date are available open-source on my github 😼 and glitch 🎏 page.
Even though my advisor slaps me upside the head everytime I say it, follow me on my socials. Let’s chat sometime.
