A Bit About Me

With background ranging from psychology to user experience research and design to programming, I am interested in exploring all elements of the digital product lifecycle. In particular, I am passionate about approaching development from a human-centered perspective and considering how the way people process information impacts their interactions with technology. I love the interdisciplinary opportunities in the field and am excited to advance my creative and technical skills with further experience. 

​

Beyond my academic interests, I am a huge fan of all NYT games (especially the Mini), psychological thriller movies/shows, and discovering new music!

Activities

Michigan Data Science Team

I am currently working with a project team on building an LLM-driven application using LangChain. We are incorporating vector embedding, retrieval-augmented generation, and function calling. The product will be a fully functional chat-bot optimized for users to receive personalized movie recommendations.
