I’m a PhD student in Software Engineering at Carnegie Mellon.
My favorite part about being a researcher is the joy of asking open-ended questions. This mindset steered me through many different experiences: litigation consulting, cybersecurity, and K-12 STEM tutoring, to name a few.

Eventually, I found a clear throughline leading to my current research in computational law and teaching interests in computer science pedagogy. I am so grateful to the Fearless Grad program for its clear and thoughtful coaching framework. The program helped me clarify a meaningful research vision and build a pragmatic plan for grad school. I’m excited to work with aspiring PhDs to dig deep and ask about the intentional why’s and practical how’s of the PhD process and beyond!

I am a Libra sun and Gemini rising, which speaks to my values of being well-rounded and staying curious. I'm always seeking how to balance out a situation, and I love inquisitive conversations that unite depth and play.
