About Me

I’m currently a fourth year Ph.D. candidate and James B. Duke scholar in the Duke University Department of Statistical Science advised by Dr. Alex Volfovsky.

I am broadly interested in research at the intersection of causal inference and natural language processing with applications in the social sciences. In addition to my methodological research, I conduct applied studies in the Duke Polarization Lab to better understand interactions on social networks .

Before being at Duke, I did my undergraduate degree in Math and Computer Science and the University of Alabama. I then spent a year in Kinmen, Taiwan as a Fulbright English Teaching Assistant.

Outside of work, I love dancing (especially ballet), swimming, long walks, and eating any kind of sweet treat.
