Hello! I am a first-year CS PhD student at the University of Maryland with a research focus in natural language processing. My work is supported by the NSF GRFP. I recently graduated from Cornell University with a B.S. in Computer Science.

At Cornell, I was fortunate to work with Prof. Claire Cardie and Prof. Tanya Goyal. I was a TA for Natural Language Processing (CS 4740) and Mathematical Foundations of Computing (CS 2800), a Data Science Lead for Cornell Data Science, and Course Manager and Lecturer for a intro to ML course (INFO 1998). I spent Summer 2023 with the REUSE program at CMU, where I worked with Prof. Claire Le Goues on neural decompilation for malware analysis.

In my free time, I am an avid reader, enjoy learning languages, going to museums, and consuming caffeinated beverages.
