I am a passionate believer in the creative process of scientific problem solving through an interdisciplinary and culturally relevant lens, as both a crucial path to innovation and a means to create pathways for inclusion.I support ambitious initiatives – spanning from research, practice, policy, to philanthropy. I work with teams that seek to act as agents of empowerment for innovation, collaboration and inclusion.I am a computational scientist, molecular biologist, learning technologist, and advocate for social justice. I previously served as an associated faculty with the Center for Connected Learning (CCL) and the Office of STEM Education Partnerships (OSEP) at Northwestern University where I acted as a faculty partner and liaison for STEM Education Outreach partnership strategies. I founded the CT4G Club- Computational Thinking for Girls Clubs to empower young girls through experiences in computing, technology, and STEM. I continually seek space to impact the next wave of innovation: through collaboration, tool creation, mentorship, and consulting.I am a Google Next-Gen Tech Policy Fellow and actively serve on research, professional and non-profit advisory boards. As a curiosity-driven person, I enjoy discussing innovations in science and novel technologies. I believe that new ideas and breakthrough technologies are born from great teamwork to generate tangible results that could serve others and benefit society. Let's connect!
