data / policy / bay area

I am a senior at American University studying Data science and International Business. I also studied at London School of Economics, through the general course program. I am originally from the Menlo Park, CA.

I have always cared about telling stories through data and in specific, how data can drive policy. I voice my opinion often about AI policy, finance regulation based on economic history/data, and international trade. Found on my substack and X account.
