I am a PhD student in the Learning Sciences Program in the Department of Educational & Counselling Psychology at McGill University. My research interests center on how children evaluate, interact with, and learn from emerging technologies. My interdisciplinary experience spans child development and educational technology, with research involving social robots, voice assistants, generative AI, and educational games. My goal is to use research to inform the responsible design and use of technologies for learning.
In the TLC Lab, I am involved in a Mitacs Accelerate collaboration with Alloprof, examining real-world gameplay patterns to better understand learner engagement and inform research-based educational technology design.
