About Me

I am a fourth-year undergraduate student at the University of Virginia, majoring in Computer Science and Mathematics with a minor in German Literature. My research interests lie in machine learning and its diverse applications, including environmental, medical, and social contexts. Currently, I am engaged in research with the Epstein Ecosystem Ecology Lab and Wei-Kai Lin at UVA. I am passionate about research and teaching, with a particular focus on making computer science a more inclusive and accessible field for individuals of all identities. I am currently a head teaching assistant for CS 1110 at UVA.

In my free time, I always have a paper book and an audiobook in progress, love finding new hiking trails, enjoy cooking and trying new restaurants, and go to concerts whenever I can.
