I am an incoming Pre-Doctoral MS student at the University of Chicago, advised by Ken Nakagaki. My research focuses on computational systems that scaffold creative and emotional processes. Previously, I majored in Computer Science (through Harvey Mudd) and Economics at Claremont McKenna and interned at American Express.
