🥳 Welcome to my GitHub!
🎓 I am a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science working at the intersection of human-computer interaction (HCI), accessibility, AI/ML, and computing education. I graduated with a B.S in Computer Science + Crop Sciences at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
💼 I am actively seeking UX research, research scientist, and ML research scientist internships for summer 2026. I am also open to software engineering and data science internships.
✨ My research interests primarily involve co-designing accessible data visualizations, especially for qualitative or 'open-ended' data, such as concept maps, network graphs, and coding trees, with the blind and low-vision (BLV) community. By understanding the workflows and processes of BLV researchers, I work at the intersection of accessibility, human-AI interaction, and inclusive STEM education to create responsible, AI-driven digital experiences. My goal is to design intelligent systems that empower people of diverse abilities to independently create, interpret, and share complex information with their peers and broader audiences..
🌍 I also love learning about all of the different ways data is used to make the world a more inclusive place for everyone, and I frequently seek out ways that inaccessible data affects society.
🍳 My non-professional interests include fitness, reading, cooking, gaming, and writing!
