Hey there! I am a Senior studying Computer Science at UC Berkeley. Previously, I spent a great summer with the AI Technology Group at the MIT Lincoln Lab, working with Keegan Quigley and Miriam Cha. Currently, I am an undergraduate researcher in the Berkeley NLP Group, where I have been very fortunate to collaborate with and learn from Alane Suhr, Sanjay Subramanian, Kayo Yin, and Dan Klein.

My research interests broadly span natural language processing and computer vision, with a focus on improving our understanding of models through interpretability and evaluation. Recently, I have been exploring the multilingual capabilities of LMs and the semantic representations they encode of concepts across languages.
