Statement of Research Interests & Experience

I joined SLIS in the fall of 2007 after completing my Ph.D. in Communication at University of California, San Diego. My graduate research at UCSD explored the design of interventions to support critical multi–literacies among children participating in community-based informal learning environments. Prior to coming to UCSD, I worked as an academic librarian focused on web design and instructional technology. My current research interests include studying relationships between play practices, information behavior, and human development.
