I am a first year PhD student at NYU with Julia Stoyanovich, working with the Center for Responsible AI.
I was formerly a member of the Microsoft AI rotational program, working out of the New England Research and Development lab (and remotely during COVID!).
In 2019 I graduated from Brown University, where I wrote a thesis about AI and self-data collection.
I also make movies and write as much as I can.
I happen to own a school bus, and my current pet project is converting it into a mobile home.
