Digital Literacies & Equitable Learning

I am a researcher at the University of Pennsylvania's Graduate School of Education. My work examines how young people participate in digitally mediated social environments — and how we can design networked learning spaces that are transformational, equitable, and technology-rich.

Background

Before Penn, I brought over a decade of experience in informal education — leading literacy programs across India and working in children's literature publishing. That grounding in practice shapes how I approach research: always in close collaboration with the teachers, students, and communities at the center of the work.
