I’m double majoring in Cognitive Science and Psychology, with interests in clinical psychology, neuropsychology, and psychological assessment. I’m curious about how technology can make assessment more accessible while preserving its human dimension. My coursework has taught me to view assessment as more than administering tests: it requires integrating scores with a person’s history, cultural context, strengths, and goals to understand what those results mean in their life.
At Cornell Tech, I helped develop a wearable noise-mapping device and a menstrual health app for neurodivergent women. I made the noise mapper calibratable to reflect individual differences in sound sensitivity—part of my broader interest in measuring personal experiences meaningfully. In Cornell’s PRIDE Lab, I’m exploring authenticity and mental health, deepening my curiosity about how people differ and change over time.
As technology—and especially AI—plays a growing role in our lives, Milstein has encouraged me to look beyond what a tool can do and ask whom it serves, whose experiences it might overlook, and what ethical responsibilities come with its use. Learning across technology and the humanities has helped me consider these questions from new perspectives.
Outside of academics, I love reading, hiking, running, and making art.
