Hi, I'm Laurie!
I'm a senior at Worcester Polytechnic Institute studying Computer Science.
My area of expertise is human-computer interaction (HCI), with an emphasis in user-centric, accessible design.
My philosophy is to never forget the human component of HCI.
I am the founding president of WPI's Neurodivergent Student Association (NDSA), a safe space for neurodivergent students to bond, increasing advocacy and acceptance around the WPI community.
I have 2 wonderful dogs, Lucy and Ruby.
