Bio

I am currently a Master's student at Harvard University's John A. Paulson School of Engineering in Data Science.

My interests lie in the intersection of data science and computational social science. I am passionate about the questions big data can answer about human behavior, social systems, and community patterns. At UCLA, I am fortunate to have worked with Professor Phil Chodrow on Virginia Criminal Sentencing and with Professor Dora Costa on Health Inequalities and the Ghost in Your Gene.

Selected Projects

Racial Disparities in State Level Criminal Sentencing
Analyzing Virginia's criminal records to uncover trends of racial bias in sentence length.
Gendered Language in Students' Reviews of Professors
Sentiment analysis of students' class reviews to detect gender-biased language.
Network Analysis of Amazon Reviews to Predict Consumer Sentiment
Predicting consumer sentiment towards unfamiliar products using structural balance + sentiment analysis.
