• Biographical information
  I am an Assistant Professor of Technology and Education at Teachers College, Columbia University in the Communication, Computing and Technology in Education Program within the Department of Mathematics, Science and Technology. My research explores the stories, literacies, and media/technology use in the lives of youth who are straddling the justice and education systems. In this work, I am particularly interested in the spaces youth create for storytelling and representation and am studying how their stories might lead us to new paths of inquiry about the areas of corrections education, literacies, and the integration of technologies in education.
