About Me


I’m a recent graduate of the University of Chicago with a B.A. in Public Policy with Honors and a B.A. in Linguistics. My top research interests include public health, accessibility, and linguistics of sign languages. My thesis focused on mental health clinicians’ (lack of) knowledge about treating d/Deaf patients and how we could improve their knowledge from a public policy standpoint.


In my free time, I am involved in theater as a Music Director, Pianist, and Sound Designer. I also crochet, read, and work to optimize my farm in Stardew Valley.
