Introduction
Hi everyone,
I'm a second-year master's student specializing in social computing. I grew up in a small suburb of NYC, running cross country, playing tennis, and saxophone. My background is cognitive psychology and HCI from CMU in Pittsburgh. This summer, I will be moving to San Francisco for a full-time user research position with Chegg Tutors. I'm especially interested in what it takes for (online) e-tutors to be successful and how technology facilitates learning experiences. In my free time, I tutor local middle schoolers python and robotics.
Outside of academics, I enjoy cycling (when it's a bit warmer 😆) around the Ann Arbor local loop. I also enjoy travel and spent last year exploring the amazing state of Michigan, but sadly I sold my car this past break.
See yinz in class!

Hey Evan! No offense to the LIS students, but it's nice to have a non-library student in the course, too!
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering where/what organization you tutor through. I used to do some volunteer with 826 Michigan in Ypsilanti helping with after-school tutoring for students. I'm interested in how your experiences have been in tutoring for Python? It's cool to see so many programming initiatives becoming available for younger students.
I agree with Kelsey that it's definitely good to get an outside of specialization perspective in class. Psychology and an HCI focus seem like a fantastic combination for working at Chegg! Now that the semester is winding down, how applicable do you feel this course has been to your upcoming career?
