I am a PhD student in Education at the University of California, Irvine, with a specialization in Teaching, Learning, and Educational Improvement. My primary research area is writing instruction at the undergraduate level, focusing specifically on strategies to support undergraduate students’ writing development that are feasible for instructors to incorporate into their courses.
Under the guidance of Dr. Penelope Collins and Dr. Fernando Rodriguez, I am investigating the use of supplemental writing resources integrated into non-writing-focused courses. Through clickstream data analysis, I seek to explore students’ perceptions of and engagement with digital writing resources scaffolded into course instruction. My goal with this research is to be able to contribute to research on supporting students’ writing development across the curriculum. As part of the UC Irvine Digital Learning Lab, I work with Dr. Mark Warschauer and Dr. Tamara Tate to investigate the use of ChatGPT and other AI-writing tools in supporting writing instruction across educational contexts. Additionally, by engaging in research and pedagogy centered on AI literacy, I seek to contribute to the conversation surrounding the use of AI writing tools in education. |
