I was featured on @CBSNews this past weekend for @MirandaCosgrove ‘s show @CBSUnstoppable ! I got to share what I do as an HCI researcher, designer, and #womeninSTEM ! Grateful to my mentors and community & super excited to keep inspiring future scholars to take up space in STEM!

🚨 New Research Accepted to #AIES2025 🚨 Our paper Toward Responsible ASR for African American English Speakers maps 44 studies across HCI, ML/NLP & Sociolinguistics. We found: 🎙️ Persistent ASR bias against AAE 📊 Inclusive data practices still rare ⚖️ Big gap: governance & community power We propose a Governance-Centered ASR Lifecycle—a new framework for equity & accountability in speech AI. Read my blog unpacking the findings 👉 [lnkd.in/g-Y-SNGt] Full preprint 👉 [arxiv.org/abs/2508.18288] #AI #Fairness #ResponsibleAI #AAE #SpeechRecognition

I’m in Japan for #chi2025! I’ll be presenting our late breaking work on designing a VR social collaborative experience for language learning! Come say hi, connect with me, and check out our poster: doi.org/10.1145/370659…

🚨NYC Friends! Join us for an amazing event on The Politics of and Potential of Speech AI hosted by @ssrc_org @ssrc_just_tech @NYU_CUSP. Our panel will tackle challenges in speech AI equity and layout pathways to innovating on systems that more serve global speakers. Register for Free!

🚨 Call for Papers: Workshop on Mixed-Initiative AI Interfaces @ IUI 2025! Tackling LLM challenges requires more than algorithms—it demands better interface design. Join us w/ speakers Tom Mitchell, Elizabeth Churchill & more! 🗓️: Jan 22 AoE pienso.com/events/mind-mi…

I recently got a research grant, for this I’m working to partner with a Black YouTuber who create video essays. It will be a paid gig, please tag ur fav video essayist that makes content on Black digital culture, Black culture & Black life 🥳😀🎉

applications are open for the Pathways to the Professoriate Postdoctoral Fellowship Program (Mancosh Fellowship) at Northwestern, which I am currently completing. deadline is dec 1 with a specific focus on "New Media" careers.northwestern.edu/psp/hr857prd_e…

#CSCW2024 in Costa Rica was such a gift! Thanks to the locals in Costa Rica for extending their hospitality to us & to everyone I met/reunited with at CSCW for the laughter and research insights you brought ❤️

@HellinaNigatu Congratulations!! 🥳

So happy about this news! Thank you and congrats to all co-authors!!

🥰CMU HCII @cmuhcii at #CSCW2024 🇨🇷

I'm excited to attend my first #CSCW24 and participate in the doctoral consortium to present and receive feedback on my forthcoming work! Really looking forward to connecting with mentors, researchers, and future collaborators, so please say hi or connect! :)

#CSCW24 🌱Come hear about our quantitative, empirical work studying the efficacy & techniques used in online support communities, "What Makes Digital Support Effective?" @ 2:30pm Tues. in "3b: Bridging Technology & Therapy". 👋🏻Would love to chat with folks there!

How can equity be integrated in public sector data-driven decision making systems? In our upcoming #CSCW2024 paper, we highlight early-stage involvement of underserved stakeholders concerning integrating inequity into data-driven decisions.
