Hi everyone! I'm thrilled to be reconnecting with the Mather community, having been a Matherite myself back in college. Since then, I've worked at several start ups, completed a PhD at the NYU Center for Data Science, and now am working on Gemini post-training at Google DeepMind. In a past life, I also worked at a UN office and organized a multi-country flash mob for malaria. I love playing and watching tennis, dancing and choreographing dance, and learning new things. Looking forward to meeting you all!
