Research
My research sits at the intersection of design, adaptive technology, career development, and equity — with a focus on what actually works for young people from marginalized communities.
Examines how adaptive learning technologies can be designed to expand career identity and opportunity for Black youth — combining design research, participatory methods, and platform prototyping.
Read at IIT Institute of Design →A live research prototype built to test how learning technology shapes career exploration and identity for marginalized students. Active in schools and open to research partnerships.
Explore the platform →Ongoing investigation into how the design of educational technology either reinforces or disrupts structural barriers for youth from underrepresented communities.
CIDR Framework™
The CIDR Framework™ is a research-based model I developed through doctoral research focused on career identity development for youth. Rather than asking students what they want to be, it helps them discover who they are, what matters to them, and how they can contribute to the world.
Who you are
What you notice
How you create
Who guides you
I'm actively looking for university partners, grant opportunities, and organizations ready to pilot North Star™ with their communities.
