Long Bio
I'm thrilled to use my interdisciplinary background in computer science and the social sciences to explore emerging technologies and steer their impact towards the common good! I'm currently spearheading the expansion of Dreamscape Learn's educational VR programming into the Mesa MIX Center at Arizona State, my alma mater.
In May of 2023 I wrapped up two Bachelor's degrees: a Bachelor of Science in Innovation in Society and a Bachelor of Science in Computer Information Systems. I am currently working on a Master of Science in Public Interest Technology at ASU, and am expected to finish in May 2024.
On a personal note, my legal middle name is Ocean, but on my off-time I enjoy hiking in the forests of Northern Arizona! I love working in teams both inside and out of the office, and often dedicate my leisure time to volunteering for causes I care about. My Instagram has also become a hub for my hobbyist film photography!
Please don't hesitate to text me at (480) 616-3342, or email me at imansfie@asu.edu if you have any questions or would like to connect further!
