About Me

I'm a junior at Swarthmore College, studying Honors Philosophy and Computer Science, with a focus on Math. I am currently obsessed with learning about algorithmic bias in artificial intelligence and its societal implications, getting more Womxn of Color into tech, and working at the intersection of technology and social good.

My college years have helped me embrace my cultural hybridity as an Asian-American woman, and as a result, I've discovered a love for Asian-American literature, all things matcha and green tea, and I know the 10-step Korean skin care routine like the back of my hand. I'm working to learn more about Zen Buddhism and Eastern Philosophy alongside my Western Philosophy classes, and in my free time, you can bet that I'm daydreaming about taking a soul-searching trip across Asia.

You can learn more about me on my Twitter as well as my work via my Github and resume.
