I’m interested in NLP and text mining with a focus on how computational methods can be used to analyze language and literature. Being a huge movie enthusiast I keep a running list of must-watch movies with some friends (shoutout to Milstein Movie Nights!) and so for my junior year project, I dove into movie screnplays and performed a computational exploration on how gender roles are represented in dialogues. 

On campus, you’ll probably catch me soaking up the sunset on the slope, grabbing a coffee at Gimme, or having lunch on the Arts Quad, although when prelim season hits, I’m likely going to be in the Milstein Studio. 

PS: I also enjoy snowboarding (even though I’ve only gone once), hiking around the Ithaca waterfalls, and trying out dark chocolates and ice cream.
