I'm a junior at Archbishop Mitty High School working at the intersection of AI safety, democratic deliberation, and public education. I research how to make AI systems more transparent, aligned, and accountable — and I work to make sure those conversations reach people outside academia too. Currently a researcher at Stanford, Cambridge, and UCSC — and founder of The AI Compass, which has educated ~400 Bay Area residents on navigating AI safely.
Paid research assistant overseeing 20+ member deliberations about frontier AI and its social impacts. Building an AI-based fact-checker to analyze the quality and reliability of democratic discourse.
Founded a nonprofit educating Bay Area residents on AI safety and literacy. ~400 people reached; partnered with Sunnyvale School District and advising their AI Task Force on district-level AI integration strategy.
Ranked 2nd in California and #18 nationally in Lincoln-Douglas Debate. Mentoring 180 students and leading the team that placed 1st in California.
Leading author on an empirical research paper on real-time interpretation of AI agents for transparency and safety, submitted to the International Conference on Learning Representations.
I'm a junior in the Bay Area. My work sits at the intersection of AI safety research, public education, and democratic participation — I care about making sure that as AI systems get more powerful, the people affected by them have a voice in how they're shaped.
Outside of research I compete in Lincoln-Douglas debate, take college-level CS and ML courses at Foothill College, and run two nonprofits. I think a lot about how technology changes what it means to be human — and what it means to govern well.
