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.

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.
