Hey there! I'm an undergrad in the College of Computing at
Georgia Tech (go Jackets!) I'm advised by Polo Chau and Diyi Yang. Starting Fall 2022, I'll be a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at
Stanford.

My interests lie at the intersection of human-computer interaction and machine learning. I'm interested in understanding how automated algorithms can affect and support interpersonal interactions online.
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 interested in research (especially if you identify with a historically marginalized group), please reach out! I'm more than happy to chat about some of the opportunities here from the perspective of an undergrad.
