I am a first year doctoral student in EECS (Electrical Engineering and Computer Science) at MIT. I am part of the Algorithmic Alignment Lab , advised by Professor Dylan Hadfield-Menell. I am broadly interested in intersecting robotics and natural language to help with human robot interaction, human robot teaming, and aligning robots with human values to help robots be integrated into society to help humans with everyday tasks.

Previously, I graduated from Brown University in May 2023, where I double majored in Computer Science and Music, both with honors. At Brown, I did research in the Humans to Robots Lab (H2R) and Intelligent Robots Lab (IRL) at Brown, under research advisors Professors George Konidaris and Stefanie Tellex.

I am also an active pianist and composer. If you would like to perform one of my compositions and request parts, contact me!

In my free time, I like spending time with friends, watching movies, reading classics (Jane Austin!), musical activities, and karaoke!
