Hello! I am a first-year Masters computer science major, CSE department tutor, and research assistant at UC San Diego. I am especially interested in machine learning, natural language processing, and functional programming, but also open to exploring and learning from diverse fields. Beyond that, I enjoy being part of interdisciplinary work increasing community retention and diversity through my work in CS education research and AAPI organizations. I strive to help people (and animals!) in everything I do.
