Hey there! I am a PhD pre-candidate in computer science in the Systopia Lab at the University of British Columbia. I am currently coadvised by Aastha Mehta and Nyugen Phong Hoang. I am broadly interested in systems and network security, particularly in problems relating to internet freedom and national security.

Before arriving at UBC, I graduated from the University of Michigan with both a master’s and bachelor’s in Computer Science and Engineering. I had the pleasure of working with with Roya Ensafi and Ram Sundara Raman on censorship measurement and with Carol Flannagan on bias in AI annotation in transportation research. I was a Fulbright scholar to Poland in 2023-2024, where I taught English and computer science at a small regional university in rural Poland.
