My experiences and background have developed me into a relentlessly reflective experimenter. My undergraduate studies focused on exploring digital media and technology with respect to representations of race and gender. During my first two years as an undergraduate student, I double majored in Computer Science(CS) and Science, Technology, and Culture (STAC). While developing an understanding of system-wide interactions between software components in CS, the STAC studies provided the ground work for understanding the interplay between science, society, and the utilization of technology in multiple metrologies (networks of thought defined within narrow disciplines).
Blending these two fields together has given me an appreciation for the development of wisdomatic-knowledge. Technical and highly specialized knowledge and skills can provide mechanisms for individuals to utilize; however, the outcomes and tangible results of utilizing this knowledge constructs a personal set of experience that cannot be ignored. Knowledge, results, and reflective habits build the capacity for individuals to construct more refined approaches and delivery of techniques and skills in future instances. I strive to foster this reflective practice, not only in myself, but in others I work with in the hopes that doing so will lead to a larger capacity for individuals to become their own self-directed agents of knowledge.
