Hello!
I am an early-career technologist, committed to using data and strategic management to deliver impactful digital public goods. I recently completed a dual degree in Applied Mathematics and Data Science at UC Berkeley.
I integrate creative, collaborative, and technical approaches to build human-centered tools for resource-constrained organizations. My background spans data analysis at the Eviction Research Network, product management at the National ACLU, and operational systems engineering at Rapid Reviews\Infectious Diseases. I am currently a Research Intern at the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project (STOP), conducting anti-surveillance advocacy research.
