About

    I'm a senior at Rice University majoring in Computer Science and minoring in Neuroscience. I love how technology gives us the tools to simplify the complicated and inconvienent parts of the world around us. I am interested in new grad roles in backend/full-stack software development, especially on teams working on user facing products. I previously was an undergraduate research assistant at the CHIL Lab @ Rice and serve as a Co-President of Design for America @ Rice, a national organization focusing on design thinking, social entrepreneurship, and innovation. I am passionate about female representation in STEM, good coffee, and human-centered design.

Where I've worked...

  • Facebook

    Software Engineering Intern

    MAY 2020 - AUG 2020

    I spent this past summer interning on the Portal Communications team where I delivered a MVP of a new user-facing feature to aid with the usability and discoverability of the Portal Smart Camera in calls. I collaborated with cross-functional stakeholders such as product, privacy, and design as well as a wide variety of engineers that work on InCall experiences at Portal. At Facebook I participated in my first technical review, wrote my first design document, and was able to see my feature off to dogfooding by the end of my internship!

  • Nod Labs

    Computer Vision Intern

    MAY 2019 - AUG 2019

    As a Computer Vision intern at Nod Labs, I was exposed to what it is like to work at a small, fast-paced startup in Silicon Valley. I learned the basics of Tensorflow while integrating a Deep Learning visual navigation model into Habitat-Sim and was also tasked with optimizing one of the company's SLAM algorithms. I appreciated the ownership and autonomy that I was given over my projects, knowing that the work that I was doing was directly impacting the direction of the company. This internship also sparked my curiosity in the fields of computer vision, machine learning, and deep learning!

What else I'm up to...

  • Rewriting The Code

    Fellow

    JUNE 2020 - PRESENT

    Rewriting the Code is a national organization for undergraduate college women interested in careers in tech. The fellowship provides this select group of women with industry exploration, networking, and mentorship opportunities.

  • Rice Design For America

    President

    APR 2019 - PRESENT

    DFA is a national organization that creates local social impact through human centered design. I have been involved in Rice's Design for America chapter at Rice since my freshman year and have worked on project teams focusing on designing for disabilities, female refugee empowerment, and a project on food insecurity @ Rice that my team presented at the DFA Design Expo to Fortune 500 company, Compass Group. DFA has taught me a lot about working in a team, navigating ambiguious problem spaces, and has given me an arsenel of design thinking tools to use as I face future challenges.

  • Computer-Human Research Lab (CHIL)

    Research Assistant

    JAN 2020 - APR 2020

    In Spring 2020, I worked as an undergraduate research assitant under Dr. Michael Byrne at the Computer Human Interaction Laboratory at Rice University. My current project involved learning ACT-R (a cognitive architecture and Python package) used for modeling in order to create simulations based off of eyetracking data collected from paper ballot voting. By creating these models, the lab hopes to use the simulations to analyze and score the usability of voting systems.
