I grew up in Queens, New York and am now a student at Brown University studying Computer Science and Urban Studies! Coming from a background in community organizing, I’ve learned how to deeply connect with people and solve complex problems. I’m driven by ideating and executing big-picture solutions for housing justice and equalizing opportunity.

I’m drawn towards product design because I believe that creating digital products allows me to continue problem-solving on a larger scale. By combining data-driven decision making and intentionality, I seek to create innovative tools that positively impact people.

I’m also a research assistant with the Brown HCI lab, studying the role of context and demographics in emotional online interpretation—ask me about emojis! When I'm not drinking a chai latte, you'll catch me on a run or doing a New York Times mini crossword :)
