My research focuses on the intersection of technology and people—understanding how and why people use
information systems, specifically people with differing abilities. Areas, including IS acceptance, quality,
accessibility, affective computing, and decision-making, are the foundations of much of my research. My work
has been published broadly and has received over 3,900 citations. I have collaborated with researchers
across disciplines, including economists, engineers, and bio-scientists. I received my Ph.D. in MIS from the
University of Georgia in May of 2000. I have held leadership roles in SIGHCI and the AIS Women’s Network
as well as serving as a Senior Editor for Transactions on Human Computer Interactions and on the Scientific
Board of Advances in Hospitality and Tourism Research.
