I’m currently working as a data science consultant with CMC: Foundation for Change, a nonprofit focused on providing evidence-based skills to those suffering from addiction, as well as family members of those addicted.

For my undergrad I earned a BA with high honors in computer science and data analysis from Wesleyan, researching algorithms and computational complexity problems related ot the solving of the combinatorial puzzle Nonogram. Furthermore, I served as a TA for courses in algorithms and computational complexity. I also earned an MA in computer science from Wesleyan, developing tools to evaluate feature attribution methods for bias. Both of these efforts were advised by Danny Krizanc. I have loads of experience as an applied statistician, working on personal projects (see my blog for a few) and working as a TA for survival analysis and applied data analysis courses.

Along with my work as a data scientist, I’m interested in continuing to conduct research and learn more theoretical computer science and statistics in my free time. Currently, I’m working through Roughgarden’s Beyond the Worst-Case Analysis of Algorithms textbook. Don’t be a stranger, reach out!

This website is very much a work in progress, but feel free to look around! My CV linked at the top of the page has my email.
