My program focuses on using data to solve pressing technological issues in the fields of child development and education. The program is built on six pillars: Psychology, Data Science, Education, Human-Computer Interaction, Research Methods, and Policy. I am especially passionate about helping underserved students, such as those with learning disorders or lack of access to quality education and resources.

I currently work as a Research Assistant in the UTK Infant Language and Perceptual Learning Lab, where I do statistical research on early language development. In the past, I have worked as an Assessment Design Intern at Curriculum Associates, a Software Development/Project Management Intern at Authentrics.ai, and a Product Management Intern at Minno.

I work as a Student Ambassador for the College of Emerging and Collaborative Studies (CECS), and I am on the Student Advisory Board and Provost’s Student Advisory Council as a representative for CECS. I also serve as a Student Leader at the Christian Student Fellowship on campus. Off campus, I volunteer with childcare at my church and work as a private tutor. In my free time, I enjoy reading classic novels, cooking/baking, lifting, walking/running, and spending time with my friends.
