Speaking.jpg

I am a 19-year-old mental health advocate and researcher passionate about scientific and technological innovations in mental health. Motivated by my personal experience with OCD, I aim to develop and scale innovative treatments to those who need them the most. Beginning this fall, I’ll be studying computer science and neuroscience at Stanford University.

As an Operations Coordinator at mental health non-profit One Mind, I am helping run the One Mind Accelerator, a program helping founders build and scale innovative mental health startups. I was most previously an intern for the CEO of Affectiva, researching applications of Emotion AI in the mental health, automotive, healthcare, and education industries. In the past, I’ve collaborated with institutions including McLean Hospital, Apollo Neuroscience, and Simmons University, strengthening my skills in scientific research and machine learning.

I frequently share my mental health journey in the hopes of destigmatizing mental health conditions. I’ve spoken at events with WE.org, Verizon, TD Bank, Harvard Alumni for Education, Wattpad, and more. In my free time, I enjoy music, fashion, art history, tennis, and Scrabble.
