I am a recent graduate of Harvard University, with an undergraduate degree in Computer Science and Healthcare Innovation and a Masters in Computer Science. I currently work at Google DeepMind on solving research problems related to large language models, including improving multi-step reasoning, enabling tool use, and exploring questions of knowledge retrieval and grounding. I currently have a patent (with another pending) for my artificial intelligence research and have published extensively in fields such as federated learning, multiagent systems, embodied language agents, and medicine. Previously, I founded GirlsComputingLeague (GCL), a nonprofit organization that has chapters in 20 US states and 7 different countries and works to provide an accessible emerging technology education to low-income students and young women across the world.

In the future, I would like to start my own business and not only use technology to solve health problems, but also foster an inclusive, diverse and welcoming corporate culture.

I am honored to have been selected as a member of the Masason Foundation. I look forward to collaborating and interacting with colleagues who are leading in their respective fields.
