About Me

I am a first-year CS PhD student in the School of Interactive Computing at Georgia Tech, where I’m advised by Professor Munmun De Choudhury at the Social Dynamics and Wellbeing Lab.

I recently obtained my Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Computer Science (with High Honors) with a minor in Environmental Studies from Dartmouth College, graduating Cum Laude. At Dartmouth, I conducted research through a joint effort between the Jacobson Laboratory at the Dartmouth Geisel School of Medicine and the HealthX Lab in Dartmouth Computer Science. I was fortunate to be advised by Professors Nicholas Jacobson and Andrew Campbell, and mentored by Arvind Pillai.

Moving forward, I’m especially excited about using social computing and machine learning to study real-world behavioral patterns, including applications in youth mental health, digital well-being, and community-centered mental health support.

Outside of academics, I enjoy crocheting, running, baking, skiing, and scuba diving, and I have been playing the cello for 13 years.
