A short-ish bio:
I earned my PhD at the University of Michigan’s School of Information in 2009. My undergraduate degree is from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where I received a BS in Psychology, and took some programming courses in an attempt to avoid calculus. That experience led to my interest in human-computer interaction, and I also learned some skills that have proven to be incredibly useful for pretty much everything I have done professionally since then.
In 1999 I received a professional master’s degree from Carnegie Mellon’s Human Computer Interaction Institute, which led to my first-ever conference publication AND trip overseas to present the paper. Between CMU and going back to graduate school for the PhD at Michigan, I spent five years working with an interdisciplinary team of researchers at Motorola Labs, designing and evaluating next generation applications for mobile technologies.
From 2009-2011 I worked at Northwestern University, first as a postdoc funded by a Computing Innovation fellowship awarded to me by the Computing Research association and the NSF, and then as a faculty member in the Communication Studies department. I started my current position as Assistant Professor and AT&T Scholar in the TISM department at MSU in the fall of 2011. (If you’re keeping score, that’s 4 Big-10 schools; if you count my two years as a vocal performance major at Indiana University before transferring to Wisconsin, it’s 5.)
In my rare moments of free time, I enjoy hiking in the woods or swimming with my dogs, taking photos of food, and driving around the Midwest in search of new microbrews to sample. I used to make quilts, but haven’t had much time for that lately. And I really hope to find an opportunity to do some singing in the near future (in public, not just by myself in the car).

Finally, people often ask me about the header photos. I shot all of them with a little point-and-shoot camera I have with me pretty much all the time, and subsequently cropped them for the website.
