I’m a PhD student in the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University where I’m lucky to be advised by two stellar people: Professors Henny Admoni and Reid Simmons.

Prior to becoming a PhD student, I was a Master’s student in the RI. During that time, I was happily advised by Professors Admoni and Oliver Kroemer.

Before enrolling at CMU, I worked on the navigation and planning software for MoonRanger under Professors Red Whittaker and David Wettergreen, and I also worked on the Iris (originally CubeRover) project’s Systems Engineering team. Before robotics, I taught 9th grade Humanities and coached boys’ lacrosse and ice hockey at Culver Academies. I earned a dual degree in English and Economics from the University of Virginia.
