My research interests include Computing Education, Informal Learning Environments, and Identity Formation. Currently, my work focuses on understanding computing students' professional identity formation in formal, non-formal, and informal learning spaces. This research enables me to develop tools, curricula, and instructional strategies that foster students' formation of computing identities and scaffold students’ learning of computing equitably.

The broader goal of my research is to improve computing students' employability by (1) reducing the gap between industry and academia; (2) fostering the development of computing students' agency for participation in self-directed learning; and (3) understanding computing students' information-seeking behaviors;
