I'm a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of English at Iowa State University. In this role, I work on developing and evaluating innovative writing technologies, focusing on process-focused writing feedback and instruction. Prior to this role, I completed a Ph.D. in Applied Linguistics & Technology. My research interests center around the applications of writing-process research to computer-assisted writing pedagogy, including the use of generative AI in the writing process. I'm passionate about helping university students become better writers, communicators, and learners through my teaching and research.

As Project Manager for our team’s $750,000 NSF-funded project, I’m responsible for designing and executing experiments, analyzing and interpreting data, reviewing literature, preparing professional presentations and scientific manuscripts, and supervising undergraduate and graduate research assistants. I also coordinate the efforts of our cross-disciplinary, international team.
