I am an incoming NSF CSGrad4US Fellow mentored by Katie Siek. I received my undergraduate degree in computer science with a concentration in data science from the University of Washington (UW), where I worked with Maya Cakmak and Siddhartha Srinivasa. I am interested in developing assistive and accessible robotic technologies to broadly serve human needs.
