Current research project: I am fascinated by the intersection of media, technology, and education in addressing social and environmental concerns. This has led me to pursue research at Duke, with my collaboration on Bass Connections’ Revaluing Care in the Global Economy team. There, I worked with students in environmental, economic, and policy-based disciplines to research and produce a mixed-media simulation game. Our research created a game prototype that allows players to experience the difficult questions and trade-offs involved in climate action. I have since continued academic research with the goal of developing innovative educational approaches to combatting social inequality and global climate change today.
Post-Duke plans: I hope to continue learning about media in whatever capacity, with the aim of contributing to positive social and environmental action.
