About me

Objective

I am a PhD student at Purdue working to identify trajectories of ethical action for users and professionals working with AI systems. My work intersects moral and social psychology to design spaces for pro-ethical change. In this, I’m working to model ethical decision-making processes to scale interventions in public, classroom, or professional settings. This work combines my background in technology and philosophy with rigorous social science methodologies to address current questions for the safe and responsible use and development of AI systems across society.

Background

I’m advised and mentored by Dr. Alejandra Magana and Dr. Daniel Schiff. I’m a member of the Research on Computing in Engineering and Technology Education Lab (ROCkETEd) and the Governance and Responsible AI Lab (GRAIL). I’m in the Ph.D. in Technology doctorate program in the Computer and Information Technology department and specialize in AI ethics education. Expected graduation date between 2026-2027 with expected Advanced Methods certification. Career interest in tenure-track faculty positions and industry AI safety research.

My MS in Computer and Information Technology thesis was on technology adoption for small and medium sized manufacturing firms in Indiana. I also graduated from Purdue in 2022 with a B.S. in Cybersecurity and a B.A. in Philosophy, and complementary industry experience in IT administration and security.
