My expertise lies in the intersection of artificial intelligence, natural language processing, and data science, with a rich background in both industry and academia.
I hold dual bachelor degrees in Computer Science and Psychology, with minors in Environmental Sustainability Studies, Philosophy, and Cognitive Science. Following, I have a Master’s of Science in Computer Science with a specialization in Cognitive Science and am currently enrolled as a Ph.D. student in Linguistics. (Go Green!).
Throughout my career, I have worked with NASA Glenn’s Graphical Visualization Team, NASA Langley Formal Metthods Team, Kellanova’s Global Data Science Team, and the Interoperability Institute’s Instructional Design and Synthetic Data team. I’ve previously belonged to various research labs from across the University in the Department of COmputer Science, the Department of English, and the Department of Linguistics. I am currently a member of the Language Acquistion lab in the Department of Linguistics.
With a passion for broadening STEM involvement and participation, I am dedicated to sharing my experiences and motivating the next generation of young scientists. I’ve been an integral part of the Michigan Council for Women in Technology for four years where I have been a scholar, speaker, and volunteer. Additionally, I served as the Outreach Coordinator for Spartan Hackers, where I encouraged my peers to explore computer science and engineering through hackathons and community building. As a student teacher, I have taught CSE 231 - Introduction to Python Programming for five years - mentoring students through several milestones and major life-events. Currently, I am a Teaching-Specialist in the Department of Statistics and Probability, where I am core faculty for the Master’s of Science in Data Science Program. I serve as the instructor for STT 810 (Mathematical Statistics for Data Scientists) and STT 811 (Applied Statistical Modeling for Data Scientists), and I serve as an advisor for the program.
I am always excited to collaborate and learn from others; I believe that the best work comes from working together.
