I am a third year PhD Candidate at Brown University working with Carsten Eickhoff in the Health NLP Lab. My research interests include explainability, information retrieval (IR), natural language processing (NLP), and biomedical applications of ML. Previously, I worked as a full-stack software engineer for FreeWheel in NYC to develop advertising technology solutions. I received my BA in Computer Science and French from Wellesley College, where I was also a member of the Track & Field and Swimming & Diving Teams. In my spare time, I enjoy running, hiking, biking, climbing, cooking, and exploring local restaurants/bars.
