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 fair & responsible machine learning, privacy, and information economics.
My undergraduate work was advised by Aylin Caliskan, Rahul Simha, and Ben Williams.
This summer, I contributed to an awesome transparency tool for the Cook County Assessor's Office. Check out our presentation at the SolveForGood DataFest!
Our paper was accepted to the Participatory Approaches to Machine Learning workshop! We propose and test an alternative way to elicit & incorporate stakeholder preferences in ML systems.
