I am a Ph.D. student studying computer science at the University of Washington in the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science and Engineering. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. My current focus is on accessibility and assistive technology. For fun, I like to bike, bake, crochet, knit, embroider, and read.
