I’m a software engineer at Microsoft Azure and a part-time MSCS student at Stanford University with a focus in AI.

In June 2025, I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Toronto, where I studied CS and Statistics with focuses in AI and NLP. Check out my graduation spotlight featured by the CS Department!

My research interest in human-centered artificial intelligence falls at the intersection of HCI and AI. In the past, I’ve worked on tackling gender bias in generative text-to-image models, crafting design principles for context-aware smart assistants, and leveraging ML to model menstrual health.

I lead projects for social good and advocate for gender diversity in tech.
