Graduate Student
Information School
I am a 2011-2012 Fulbright Fellow to Canada and a 2010 Google US Anita Borg Scholar. I am a PhD Candidate in Information Science at the Information School at the University of Washington and an affiliated graduate student in the Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies, Canadian Studies Center. Additionally, I am a 2008 alumna of the Executive Master of Science in Information Management program at the Information School.
You can find out about all of my research experience, and view my CV at my Information School webpage, or at my personal website. You can also read a recent article (March 9, 2011) about my work here and another short piece here. Or see videos of me talking about work with homeless young people at University of British Columbia (October 2009) here and at Simon Fraser University (October 2011) here.
Currently, I am pursuing two different courses of research. The first investigates the role of information systems in the lives of homeless young people. I am sponsored in this work by Associate Professor David G. Hendry. Prof. Hendry and I have established a partnership with Street Youth Ministries, working together to create a community technology center.
The second is focused on projects regarding the learning and behavioral competencies of IT project managers, and critical success factors for geographically dispersed technology teams. Assistant Professor Hazel Taylor and Associate Professor Kevin C. Desouza support me in this work.
