I am a first-year Computing Ph.D. student at the University of Utah, where I am advised by Suresh Venkatasubramanian. I am interested in analyzing the social impact of decision systems developed with machine learning to inform law and policy. My current work is supported by a fellowship from the ARCS Foundation.
Previously, I worked as a Junior Data Scientist at MassMutual while completing my M.S. in Computer Science at the University of Massachusetts. I received my B.A. in Mathematics in 2016 from Scripps College, where I was able to unofficially minor in Computer Science through Harvey Mudd College. I spent the spring of my junior year abroad with Budapest Semesters in Mathematics, and also spent some time working as a drawing teacher at art camp.
In my free time I enjoy traveling, art & photography, and making other people laugh.
