About
I am a Ph.D. student in Carnegie Mellon’s Statistics and Data Science department. In May 2024, I graduated magna cum laude from Pomona College with a double major in mathematics and philosophy. Currently, I am working with Nynke Niezink and Eva Jaspers to study structural dependencies in classroom avoidance networks and how a student’s tendency to avoid others and be avoided relates to their position in the friendship network. At Pomona, I primarily worked with Jo Hardin, conducting research in both statistical genomics and data science ethics pedagogy. More information on my current and previous research projects can be found on my research page.
Outside of research, I enjoy teaching statistics and data science. This Spring, I will be a TA for 36-402: Undergraduate Advanced Data Analysis, which is a capstone course for undergraduate students in CMU’s Statistics & Data Science department. A list of my previous teaching experiences and education-related research projects can be found on my teaching page.
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 better understand and grapple with the ethical dimensions of statistical technologies while completing my Ph.D. in Statistics.
