I chose to pursue my degree because I care about access - to me, the experiences (small or big) we can access shape our participation in society. As a human-computer interaction researcher, I seek to understand how technology can support the creation of access opportunities to historically excluded communities in the domain of health and I am especially interested in how this may be achieved through meaningful social interactions and community-centred technological interventions.

 

At Georgia tech, I work in the Wellness Technology lab led by Dr. Andrea Parker. My work lies at the intersection of spirituality, technology and health equity. I explore how technology can support the wellbeing of members of predominantly Black churches through community-based participatory methods that seek to meaningfully engage church members. Currently, I am investigating how technology might support wellbeing in church members by strengthening existing group health behaviours.
