I’m a Rocky Mountain native, born in Switzerland and brought up in Denver! I graduated from Caltech in 2016, receiving my B.S. in computer science. During my time in Pasadena, I did research at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in biochemistry and spent three years of my undergraduate life working in developmental biology using computational analysis to better understand embryo development among other biological phenomena. I am a PhD student in the Computer Science department at Harvard. For fun, I sing classical Indian Carnatic music with the Dudley World Music Ensemble, enjoy being in nature, and love dancing!
