About Me

I am now a User Experience Researcher at Google!

Early in 2011 I worked as a Research Intern at Autodesk Research in Toronto, ON with the User Interface team. My project focused on learnability of both a software application and practical skill.

I completed my M.Sc. in the Department of Computing Science at the University of British Columbia. I was a member of the Imager Lab and my supervisors were Kellogg S. Booth and Alan K. Mackworth. For my thesis work, I collaborated closely with Ronald Kellett and Cynthia Girling of the elementsLab in the School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture at UBC.

I completed my B.Sc. (Honors) at Simon Fraser University with a major in Computing Science, a minor in Mathematics, and a Certificate of Liberal Arts. I spent two summers at SFU conducting research thanks to two NSERC USRAs I received, one with Greg Mori and the other with Stella Atkins.
