Where I’m at – I am a PhD student in the Penn HCI lab and am fortunate to be advised by Dr. Metaxa. My research interests are in transdisciplinary sociotechnical action research at the intersection of algorithmic justice, public sector AI policy, and HCI. I focus on developing methods and systems for community-engaged, sociotechnical evaluation of high-stakes, public-sector AI systems. My goal is to center the needs and lived experiences of historically excluded communities, making both evaluation practices and the policies that shape AI systems holistic, contextual, collaborative, and critically reflexive.
I received a 2024 NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) award and am kindly supported by a GEM fellowship.
Where I’ve been – My research journey began in the DS3 program at Microsoft Research NYC (I recommend all interested undergrads apply!). Before Penn, I had the privilege and opportunity to serve as a TechCongress Congressional Innovation Fellow in the office of Representative Yvette D. Clarke. I’ve also worked as a software engineer at the Stanford Computational Policy Lab, Capital One, and as a Civic Technology Fellow at Microsoft Cities.
Where my roots are – I was born, raised, and educated in the Bronx and am a proud NYC public school system and CUNY grad. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from CUNY Lehman College.
