I am a fourth year Ph.D. student in the Department of Statistics at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. I graduated from Reed College in 2022 with a BA in mathematics. My current hobbies include rock climbing, playing video games, and following Northern California Bay Area sports. My research interests include Bayesian modeling, statistical learning, and applications in environment, with a current focus on Bayesian Additive Regression Trees under the mentorship of Professor Sameer K. Deshpande.

The PDF version of my CV is available here.
