What I do

During my academic career, I have worked as a research assistant in fields of neurorobotics and environmental conservation. These opportunities have been critical to my academic and professional development. They have and continue to show me how to work efficiently and successfully in a professional research environment, while also giving me the space to care about the people and work I am passionate about. With these experiences, I have been able to find a foothold in a discipline that excites me, and I am eager to explore with more depth. Using computer science as my toolkit, I utilize my curiosities to explore how engineering can be used and improved in environmental conservation locally and globally.
