I'm currently a PhD student in physics at Caltech, where I'm fortunate to be co-advised by John Preskill and Fernando Brandão. Previously, I completed my bachelor's in physics and math at MIT, and wrote my senior thesis on the application of random circuits to study many-body quantum dynamics. For more, you can view my CV or read about the highlights here.

I am committed to increasing access to opportunities in STEM, particularly for students from underrepresented communities. I previously served on the MIT Physics Values Committee and worked on writing math curriculum for students of diverse backgrounds.
