About
I am a Ph.D. student in Carnegie Mellon’s Statistics and Data Science department. Before that, I attended Pomona College in Claremont, California, where I graduated with a double major in mathematics and philosophy in Spring 2024. At Pomona, I primarily conducted research with Jo Hardin, working on projects in both statistical genomics and data science ethics pedagogy.
Outside of research, I really enjoy teaching. So far, I have been a graduate TA for two courses at CMU, and I will TA for the Carnegie Mellon Sports Analytics Summer Camp and co-instruct some lectures on data analysis with R as part of SURE 2025 this summer.
Another primary interest of mine is philosophy, particularly (feminist) philosophy of science, ethics, and (social) epistemology. I hope to stay engaged in philosophy and, with that, work to understand the ethical dimensions of statistical technologies while completing my Ph.D. at Carnegie Mellon.
