Hello world! I am a PhD candidate at the Stanford University Graduate School of Education, advised by Dora Demszky and Hari Subramonyam.

My research is about NLP in education. I study the language of educational interactions and develop systems to understand and support teaching and learning. I use education as a lens on expertise and knowledge representation, and I develop methods to inform both language modeling and learning theory.

I did my undergraduate at Rice University in Computer Science and Visual and Dramatic Arts, and my master's at Stanford University in Education Data Science. I worked as a senior software engineer at Microsoft Education developing learning tools for 90M teachers and students worldwide, and I taught high school computer science with TEALSK12.
