About Me

I am a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Washington, where my research sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI), human–computer interaction (HCI), and health informatics. Prior to pursuing my terminal degree, I worked as a dietitian and research scientist in multiple health organizations and tech startups.

My work combines human-centered design, mixed-methods user research, and AI/ML techniques to investigate how intelligent systems can enhance human collaboration and decision-making in high-stakes, multi-stakeholder environments. I am especially motivated by research that produces measurable improvements in people’s lived experiences or generates frameworks and design implications that researchers and practitioners can adopt to build more responsible and trustworthy AI systems for social good. My research has been published in and submitted to high-impact venues such as Nutrients journal and the ACM CHI conference.

I’m inspired by the late Kobe Bryant and his Mamba Mentality—to inspire people around me. If my work resonates with you, don’t hesitate to reach out! I’m always happy to connect. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling and playing sports—mainly basketball and golf.
