About Me

I am a data scientist and researcher focused on questions at the intersection of machine learning and public policy. I am currently a Data Scientist and Algorithmic Justice Specialist at the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), where my work focuses on the civil rights implications of automated systems, and an Affiliate at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society.

Previously, I was an Assembly Fellow at the Berkman Klein Center's Institute for Rebooting Social Media and a Technology Fellow in the U.S. Senate, where I worked for the Senate Judiciary Committee Antitrust Subcommittee through the TechCongress fellowship program. I also spent time at HuggingFace, where I focused on building and improving model cards for machine learning models, and was previously a data scientist at the Stanford Computational Policy Lab. I hold an M.S. in Management Science and Engineering (Computational Social Science) and a B.S. in Mathematical and Computational Science, both from Stanford University.
