I am a designer, researcher and coder.

I am a master’s student in the Affective Computing Group at MIT Media Lab, where I work with community organizations to design technology that can support the holistic well-being of vulnerable populations. 

Prior to joining the Media Lab, I spent three years designing and building technology to support mental health and wellbeing in industry and non-profit settings. 

Before this, I graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Pennsylvania, receiving a B.A. in Psychology and focusing on the intersection of psychology and computer science.
