My name is Betsy Alegria ('16) and I am majoring in Symbolic Systems with a focus on Human Computer Interaction. Broadly, I am interested in how we interact with computers, design, behavioral science, and asking those "big" questions. Specifically, I am curious about the role of technology in education. The interdisciplinary aspect of Symbolic Systems has let me explore how different disciplines (computer science, philosophy, psychology, and linguistics) approach those questions. In addition to classes, I have been involved with East Palo Alto Stanford Academy (EPASA), a middle school program. I have found a community by working with the EPASA team, our students, and their families. My thoughts on our education system and social justice have also matured through my involvement in EPASA. Finally, my bio would not be complete if I did not mention my love for coffee. So if you like coffee (or not), we should talk. Perhaps over coffee!
