Hello! I am an incoming Information Science PhD student at the University of Washington, where my research will be supported by an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.

Broadly, I’m interested in socially-aware natural language processing. I hope to understand the sociocultural implications of language technologies and how to minimize non-normative behaviors in intelligent agents.

I completed my undergraduate degree in computer science at Georgia Tech, where I was advised by Mark Riedl. I have also been incredibly fortunate to work with Norman Sadeh at Carnegie Mellon University, Mingyi Hong and Dongyeop Kang at the University of Minnesota, and Dong Xuan at The Ohio State University.
