I graduated from the University of Illinois with Bachelor of Science degrees in Computer Science and Psychology. I have a Masters degree from the University of Pittsburgh's Intelligent Systems Program. I have spent most of my professional career working on Intelligent Tutoring Systems (see below). I was awarded the Best Paper First Authored by a Student Award at the Eighth International Conference on Intelligent Tutoring Systems for my paper titled "Scaffolding Problem Solving with Annotated, Worked-Out Examples to Promote Deep Learning."
