PhD Student
I am a doctoral student in Information Studies at the School of Information at The University of Texas at Austin.
My research centers on disability and accessibility, with a particular focus on information access in academic and technological contexts. I am especially interested in how disabled people encounter academic reading materials, library systems, visual information, and AI-enabled technologies.
My work draws on information studies, accessible user experience, and disability-informed perspectives on technology design and use.
