I was born and raised in San Francisco, California, so I'm a lifelong Giants, Niners, Warriors fan :) 

I spent two years in Washington D.C. working for McKinsey & Company. At McKinsey, I focused mainly on artificial intelligence and its responsible implementations across industries, including work I did in financial services, manufacturing, high tech, and education. 

My current research and academic interest lies in the philosophy of Silicon Valley and the intellectual history of the movement towards accelerationism. I wrote my undergraduate thesis (now published) on an experiment where AI was utilized to depolarize a group of college students.

Outside of academics, I have a diverse range of interests, including poetry, ancient history, baseball, and astronomy.
