About

Originally from Denver, I moved to Atlanta to study applied math, statistics, and economics at Emory. While there, I published a mathematical model of COVID-19 and worked part-time tutoring undergrads in math. I finished my coursework in three years and transferred to Georgia Tech for an additional degree in Computer Engineering with concentrations in embedded devices and software. At Tech I helped a VR startup raise its seed round and researched real-time captioning in the Contextual Computing Group.
