Education Technology Professional
Designing education
that scales
From curriculum systems to 35,000+ student programs — I bridge pedagogy and technology to create learning experiences that work.
About Me
I'm an education technology professional who thrives at the intersection of pedagogy and innovation. With a PhD (expected May 2026) in Curriculum & Instruction, an MS in Educational Technology, and a BSc Hons in Computing, along with 7+ years of experience spanning K-12, higher education, and nonprofit settings, I design scalable learning programs that are both research-grounded and learner-centered.
Currently, as Curriculum Manager at Code For Fun, I oversee CS and STEAM curricula reaching 35,000+ students across 300+ schools in Silicon Valley and beyond. I bring together instructional design, program management, and a passion for equity in education — from empowering women in Nepal through literacy programs to shaping computer science education in K-12 classrooms.
