In Fall 2026, I'll begin working as an instructor in the Computer Science department at Colorado Mesa University!
I am currently a masters student at Brown University, co-advised by Eli Upfal and Matteo Riondato. My current research is in statistically-sound knowledge dicovery from data applied to large hypergraph datasets. I'm passionate about teaching and mentorship in Computer Science. I am supported in part by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.
Outside of work I love hiking, biking, climbing, and trying new outdoor activities. Indoors, I also love cooking, art, and boardgames.
