I'm a junior studying computer science at the University of Washington interested in HCI+design. I'm primarily working as an undergrad researcher with Gary Hsieh (HCDE) and Amy Zhang (CSE). Over the summers I also collaborate with Ding Li (Adobe Research). Ideas I'm currently thinking about revolve around HCI, science communication, and social media.

When not on campus, I'm at a branch of the Seattle Public Library or reviewing something new. When I used to have free time, I played chess competitively and worked at the Crags Climbing Center at the UW IMA.

Originally from sunny San Jose, CA. Always happy to chat, feel free to reach out! :)
