I am a first year PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Michigan, where I have the pleasure of working with Professor Elizabeth Bondi-Kelly in the Realize Lab and Professor Westley Weimer in the Weimer Research Group.

I design AI systems for Social Impact. My research focuses on building and improving human-centered AI systems that integrate participatory design and interdisciplinary methods. I'm particularly interested in medical contexts such as women's reproductive health.

Before my PhD, I was an R&D Embedded Software Engineer at Stryker in the medical division where I developed PCBs for hospital bed ecosystems and medical monitoring technologies.

Outside of research, I enjoy making music—both by playing violin in the University of Michigan’s Campus Symphony Orchestra and composing in FL Studio. I also love crocheting, cooking (eating), and playing video games.

  What happens inside your brain when you are debugging software? How does your brain activity change based on your level of programming experience, your native language, or your reading ability? We found out! Our publication using medical imaging (fNIRS) exploring the behavioral and neural distinctions of software debugging was accepted to IEEE Transaction on Software Engineering.
