📚 Research Interests:

My research interests are focused on exploring the intersection of innovative technologies and social impact to promote inclusion and equity. Specifically, I am interested in two lines of inquiry. The first involves harnessing technology to support learning and teaching in resource-challenged contexts, with a focus on improving foundational education and access for underserved communities, including reading literacy, numeracy, and coding. The second line of research centers around exploring the potential of smart technologies to promote more sustainable entrepreneurship models to empower marginalized young adults, particularly women.
