When she’s not working, you might find her out hiking, rock climbing, or backpacking. Whether a mountain peak, city, or countryside, she enjoys adventuring to new places. In her research, Breanne investigates how people learn and how we can use technology to bring people together in new, productive ways, especially in cross-cultural contexts. Motivated by her value of working with people from multiple disciplines and backgrounds, she typically works in multi-sector, interdisciplinary research and design teams. Breanne started the LED Lab to investigate how people learn through making, designing, and producing in diverse cultural and community contexts. Her students love the sense of community they find through the LED Lab and the support she provides them to pursue their own projects. Since coming to USU, Breanne has received several awards for her mentorship and teaching including USU Undergraduate Research Mentor of the Year in 2021. Breanne’s approach to research is community-, equity-, and design-oriented.
