I am a PhD student in the Electrical & Computer Engineering department at Carnegie Mellon University (2024-present), advised by Limin Jia. My research involves creating secure systems and verifying security of systems.

I am on the Student Advisory Committee and am the Advocacy Chair for CMQ+, the group for LGBTQIA+ grad students and allies at Carnegie Mellon University.

I completed my BS in Electrical & Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University with a minor in Logic & Discrete Mathematics (2020-2024). I graduated with University Honors and spoke at Lavender Graduation, the ceremony celebrating graduating LGBTQIA+ students.
