I am a Data Scientist at Xbox, Microsoft.
I graduated with a Ph.D. in Statistics from the University of Washington in 2024. My dissertation, "Problems in Identification and Estimation: Algorithms for Pathogen, Ancestral, and Rashomon Analysis" was co-advised by Tyler McCormick and Ema Perkoviฤ.
Before UW, I received my B.S. in Computer Science and Applied Mathematics at the University of Colorado at Boulder in May 2020. I completed my undergraduate thesis, advised by Dan Larremore, on identifying effects of node covariates in ranking and choice models.
Non-academically, I am interested in music - both listening and playing.
I also like to read.
My most recent favorite fiction is The Stormlight Archive series by Brandon Sanderson.
My most recent favorite non-fiction is Promised Land by Barack Obama.
I enjoy playing a good video game once in a while and my all-time favorites are Uncharted, God of War, and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Having spent four years in Boulder, I also tend to enjoy climbing, biking, and running.
Since my early undergrad days, I have been maintaining a blog where I reflect on science, math, the world, and life.
