Hi! I'm a rising senior at the University of California Santa Cruz studying computer science.

I currently work on vision-language model post-training at Ai2. I've previously worked on multimodal benchmarks at the the RAIVN Lab with Reza Salehi and James Park under Prof. Ali Farhadi.

I also teach UW's deep learning class with Prof. Ranjay Krishna.

Outside of CS, I enjoy cooking, climbing, and backpacking.
