I am a fifth-year Societal Computing PhD student in the Software and Societal Systems Department at Carnegie Mellon University. I am broadly interested in examining interactions between AI and society to study how to leverage the strengths of AI while avoiding negative outcomes and impacts. Currently, my primary areas of research are:

• AI alignment
• algorithmic fairness
• music information retrieval
• participatory machine learning
• AI for social good
• ethics and evaluation of generative AI

I am on the job market for academic and industry positions starting in 2026 which would ideally let me continue researching these areas.
