Who am I ?

An AI researcher exploring responsible, high-impact computer vision and LLM applications.

I am a Willamette University scholar double-majoring in Computer Science and Data Science, currently expanding my horizons at the University of Birmingham. Graduating in May 2026, I am actively partnering with prospective advisors on Computer Science PhD pathways that advance trustworthy, multimodal AI. My work centers on hybrid computer vision systems, multimodal learning, and AI-driven pedagogy that bridges technical rigor with human-centered design, and I love building research prototypes that move from idea to deployment while staying grounded in ethics, access, and community impact.
