Hello! Thanks for visiting my page.

A bit about me: I am currently a data scientist at Watershed, helping companies fight climate change. Previously, I built load recommendations and fuel forecasting for truck drivers at a small freight startup, and spent several years at Plaid, using machine learning and analytics to fight fraud, protect consumers against compromised credential attacks, and understand the messy language of credit card statements.

Aside from that, I care deeply about animal welfare.

  • I volunteer weekly on the shelter medicine team at the San Francisco Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, where I medicate, provide physical therapy, and socialize dogs, cats, and smalls

  • With the Humane Society of the US, I’ve worked on:

    • Leading a team in sheltering and caring for over 250 dogs, cats, rabbits, and domestic birds displaced by the 2018 Camp Fire and its ensuing landslides and flooding

    • Caring for undersocialized and sick animals from a high-profile illegal dog breeding disaster in New Hampshire

    • Caring for animals rescued from an international dog meat farm

  • Additionally, I have experience as a volunteer veterinary assistant with the Sonoma Humane Society and the Butte Humane Society treating burned cats after multiple wildfire events.

I also enjoy photography and classical music; in particular, I’m passionate about photographing people, and play the violin.

As a violin enthusiast, I've had wonderful opportunities to perform at cool venues including Chicago's Orchestra Hall, Leipzig's Gewandhaus, Montevideo's Teatro Solis, Prague's Smetana Hall, Washington D.C.'s John F. Kennedy Center, the Ravinia festival, and the Lollapalooza music festival. In the past I've performed under the baton of Gustavo Dudamel and played in a quartet and other small ensembles with Yo-Yo Ma. In 2014, I toured New York City and London as a chamber musician with Joshua Bell, with the concerts broadcast in the documentary "Master Class" by HBO in October 2014. In September 2014, I had the honor to perform for US President Barack Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama, and the UN General Assembly.

Throughout 2014-15, I composed, recorded, and produced the score and soundtrack for Nicole Ramberg's film, Broken Roots, and would love further opportunities to write and produce soundtrack music for movies or games.
