About Me

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Colorado Boulder developing and validating computational language and speech based tools for the detection of neurocognitive disorders. I am interested in the creation of ethical and transparent AI methods that harness explainability and computational safeguards. I am incorporating aspects of participatory design for the creation of human-in-the-loop enabled interfaces for clinical decision making.

I received a joint PhD in Spring 2022 from the Department of Computer Science and the Institute of Cognitive Science at the University of Colorado Boulder, advised by Peter Foltz and Jim Martin. I received a BA in Math and Computer Science at the University of Virginia in 2016, and a MS in Computer Science at the University of Colorado Boulder in 2020.

In April 2021 I participated in a LSU Science Cafe discussion entitled The Doctor Is In (Your Phone): How digital technologies can help treat serious mental illness. In 2020 I had a great opportunity to be interviewed by Denver7 News and Newsy about my research!
