About me

I’m a third-year CS PhD student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, advised by Fred Sala. My interests include machine learning for low-data regimes, as well as machine translation and using machine learning to model game-theoretic scenarios.

I’m also President of UW-Madison’s chapter of the Women of the ACM (WACM) and a member of the Graduate Student Advisory Committee (GSAC) in the Computer Science Department.

This Summer 2024, I’m excited to intern at NASA GISS! I’ll be working with Michael Hendrickson to enable analysis of climate datasets with LLMs.
