Hey there! I'm a second year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at 
Stanford, co-advised by Michael Bernstein and Diyi Yang. Previously, I was an undergrad in the College of Computing at 
Georgia Tech (go Jackets!), advised by Diyi Yang and Polo Chau.

My research lies at the intersection of human-computer interaction and natural language processing. I'm interested in building safe and reliable social computing systems—powered by advances in NLP—that support how people interact with AI and eachother.
I've spent a bit of time as a research intern at 
Square, 
University of Southern California, and 
Cornell University.

Also: if you're an undergrad at Stanford interested in research (especially if you identify with a historically marginalized group), please reach out! I'm more than happy to chat about opportunities here!
