I am a third-year grad student, now studying Information Science, and I am hoping to pursue full-time roles in technical AI Safety from June ’25 onwards. I am spending my last semester at school working on an AI evaluations project and pair programming through the ARENA curriculum with a few others from my university. Before making a degree switch, I was a Ph.D. student in Planetary Science where I used optimization models to physically characterize asteroids (including potentially hazardous ones).

Historically, my most time-intensive EA involvement has been organizing Tucson Effective Altruism — the EA university group at the University of Arizona. If you are a movement builder, let’s get in touch!

Career-wise, I am broadly interested in x/​s-risk reduction and earning-to-give for animal welfare. Always happy to chat about anything EA!
