I am a High School Senior at Bishop Blanchet High School in Seattle currently working with Jon Froehlich, Dhruv Jain, and the rest of the Smarthome Sound Awareness Team as a research intern. I hope to major in Computer Science or Engineering in college. In my spare time, I like to play video games, watch Youtube, and draw.

We design, build, and evaluate new interactive tools and techniques to address pressing societal challenges. Makeability refers both to how our technological innovations make new abilities possible for humans as well as our educational mission to help students gain new abilities as they learn and grow through research, invention, and human-centered design.
