I'm currently working as a developer at the Precision Brain Health Initiative at the BU Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine. Our projects largely focus on research into the integration of digital technologies in brain health monitoring, especially pertaining to the early identification of signs of Alzheimer's.

I'm a recent BU alum who majored in Computer Science with a minor in Japanese. I was the former President of the Boston University Japanese Student Association, and recently studied abroad in Kyoto, Japan at Doshisha University with Columbia University's KCJS Program.

My biggest passion is in the intersection of computer science and its use in scientific research, most prevelantly linguistics throughout my undergrad. Additionaly, I'm planning on pursuing a master's in bioinformatics while I work with the goal of adapting my existing computer science skills to benefit research in health and medicine that will directly benefit people's lives.
