The Health and Play Lab at Penn State IST does human-computer interaction (HCI) research exploring how technologies could support people and communities to be healthier and more playful.
As a member of the lab, I lead research on gig workers' self-tracking practices and support other projects focused on understanding people's experiences with various digital platforms, including video games, content creation, and feminine health technologies.
