I am a postdoc at the Santa Fe Institute, working with Professor Cris Moore. In Fall 2025, I will be joining the Complex Systems Center at the University of Vermont as an Assistant Professor of Statistics. I consider myself a computational social scientist and a data scientist. I received my PhD from the Department of Applied Mathematics at the University of Colorado at Boulder, supported by an NSF Graduate Research Fellow in the area of Science Policy, advised by Aaron Clauset.

My research focuses on understanding causality in complex systems, with the goal of illuminating the mechanisms that drive inequalities in our social world. I apply techniques from mathematics and computer science toward the study of real-world social systems with complex heterogeneities and endogeneities, such as academic careers and human rights, aiming to produce scientific insights that can inform public policy.

My work has appeared in high-profile journals such as Nature, Science Advances, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, and Nature Communications. I have been recognized as a University of Chicago Rising Star in Data Science.

During my PhD, I was a (2x) research intern with the MSR NYC Computational Social Science group and a Data Science & Human Rights Fellow with HRDAG. Previously, I worked as a software consultant at Pivotal Labs, a software engineer at multiple startups including on a DARPA project, and as a Data Science for Social Good Fellow at the University of Chicago. I received my undergraduate degree in Computer Science and Psychology from Swarthmore College in 2014.

During my PhD, I was a proud union member, organizing to improve public higher education in Colorado with United Campus Workers Colorado. I served three terms as an officer on the Executive Board of CWA 7799.
