I am a current law student at the University of San Diego School of Law with interest in the interplay between technology, law, and society. More specifically I aim to research, discuss, and change the law as it concerns data science technologies such as data privacy, predictive policing, etc.
I have a background in philosophy specializing in ethics, with a Bachelor's degree from the California Polytechnic University of Pomona. I have published several papers on ethical issues and presented my original philosophical work at conferences across America and internationally. This includes winning at the 2019 Cal Poly Pomona Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activities (RSCA) Conference for my work on the Phenomenology of Drug Addiction, as well as my work on the Ethics of Machine Learning for Suicide Prediction at the 2nd Transatlantic Conference for Data Science and Ethics in Klosterneuburg, Austria.
Prior to receiving my Bachelor's degree, I earned an Associate's degree in Social and Behavioral Sciences from the Santa Rosa Junior College. I had intentions of pursuing a medical doctorate and have taken several high level science courses including biology, chemistry, and physics as well as psychology and sociology.
I have worked as a tutor and teacher for many years while putting myself through college and now graduate school as a First-Generation student. I am currently a Dive Instructor at La Jolla Water Sports and a Surf Instructor to private clients.
