Bio

I am a recent graduate from Harvard Law School. I graduated from Amherst College with a double major in Law, Jurisprudence & Social Thought, and Black Studies. After graduating from Amherst, I worked at Facebook as a Child Safety Investigator where I helped investigate and prevent abuse of minors on Facebook’s platforms. I spent much of my time at Harvard focused on the intersection of law and technology, and was involved with the Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society. I spent two summers at Cooley LLP as a legal intern, and plan to do corporate work helping startups in the future. I was involved with the Harvard Black Law Student Association and was a co-president of the Tenant Advocacy Project. I love running, baking, hiking, and yoga.

Project ideas

Project ideas are meant to help inspire student thinking about their own project. Students are in the driver seat of their research and are free to use any or none of the ideas shared by their mentors.

How Algorithmic Responsibility can Promote Racial Justice

This project would advocate for studying Algorithmic Responsibility, specifically regarding Artificial Intelligence like ChatGPT, through the lens of racial social justice to improve access to technology and decrease the chance that artificial intelligence might disparately impact Black Americans.

Teaching experience

I serve as a teaching assistant in the First Year Legal Research and Writing Program for first year law students at Harvard Law School. In the same role, I also am a peer adviser to members of the first-year class and transfer students, and as administrators of the Ames Moot Court competition which teaches students how to use oral advocacy skills in front of judges and Supreme Court Justices. I have also created the Wade Student Ambassadors program at Amherst College that pairs with the Wade Fellowship also at Amherst, which connects between Black alumni from Amherst and Black students.
