About Me

I am a doctoral student in information science at the iSchool at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. My research focuses on algorithmic justice, integrating social and technical approaches to issues of equity in computing. I am broadly interested in AI ethics, how we incorporate social identity into predictive systems, and the epistemological assumptions of computing. PDFs of my work can be found on my Research page. My CV can be seen here.

I am primarily advised by Dr. Nigel Bosch and am a member of his Human + Machine Learning Lab. I am also affiliated with Dr. Jana Diesner’s Social Computing Lab and Dr. Anita Chan’s Community Data Clinic.

In my free time, I enjoy playing sports, reading speculative fiction, baking, community organizing, and spending time outside. I received my undergraduate degree in Computer Science and Mathematics from Bowdoin College in 2017. Before starting my PhD, I worked at a startup in Boston, first as a technical writer and then as a DevOps Engineer.
