She also co-founded and co-organizes Black in AI, a transcontinental group aimed at increasing the presence and inclusion of Black individuals in the field of AI. As part of this research mission, she co-founded and co-organizes the Mechanism Design for Social Good (MD4SG) initiative, an interdisciplinary, multi-institutional research group. She uses computational techniques, in conjunction with insights from the social sciences, to improve access to opportunity for communities of individuals for whom opportunities have historically been limited. Her research focuses on algorithms, AI, and applications to social good. candidate in computer science at Cornell University, advised by Professor Jon Kleinberg.
