I am a PhD student in the Human-Centered Computing program at Georgia Tech where I will work with the DataWorks team and Dr. Betsy DiSalvo. My research is broadening pathways to computing careers for adults; you can see my evolving research direction here and keep an eye out for research-related writing on my blog.
Before changing careers to research, I worked as a software developer for about 10 years after getting my undergraduate degree in studio art. Outside of my work, I learn the Nepali language, semi-maintain an art practice, roast my own coffee, read, and run and bike outside.
Really, I put a lot of effort into my website, and it is forever in-progress. I work on it with the hope that others will read my content and find something interesting, inspiring, or worthy of a smile.
I do not allow comments on this site, but I am interested in what you think about my work, and I love to meet new people. Feel free to email me at lara notlaura dot com with any questions or comments.
