👋 My name is Melissa (she/her) and I am a PhD student at Northwestern University in computer science.
💭 I am a member of the Delta Lab working with Dr. Eleanor O'Rourke. I am an interdisciplinary, design-based researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction, computing education, and the learning sciences working to understand how to design sociotechnical learning environments that support students' computing motivation and self-efficacy.
🎓 I studied computer science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (class of 2022) where I also dabbled in machine learning and HCI research and backend software engineering internships.
