I am a researcher, data scientist, and project manager. Currently, I am a first-year PhD student at Carnegie Mellon's Heinz College of Information Systems & Public Policy. Previously, I studied Computational Economics at the George Washington University. I am also an alum of the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics.
My research interests span algorithmic bias, private & fair machine learning, and welfare economics.
I am co-advised by Alessandro Acquisti and Alexandra Chouldechova. My undergraduate work was advised by Aylin Caliskan, Rahul Simha, and Ben Williams.
