I studied studio art at Tufts and did my study abroad at Central Saint Martins in London. I was usually the newest person in the room, so I pay close attention to who a design leaves out. That habit pulled me from branding into research. I have worked in child development and education labs at Tufts, Harvard, Boston College, and Boston University, and I spend a lot of that time watching kids use things in ways nobody planned. In 2026, I founded My AI Steps, a nonprofit that teaches children ages 5 to 12 how AI works. My goal is to grow it into an AI literacy brand that kids come back to again and again.
