Hello world! I am a PhD student at the Stanford University Graduate School of Education, advised by Dora Demszky and Rebecca Silverman. I also work with Emma Brunskill and Hari Subramonyam.
My research focuses on NLP for Education. I study the language of educational interactions and develop NLP systems to measure and support instructional practice. My work bridges educational theory and advanced computational methods to improve the foundational capabilities and pedagogical relevance of AI applications in K-12.
I did my undergraduate at Rice University in Computer Science and Visual and Dramatic Arts, and my master's at Stanford University in Education Data Science. I worked as a senior software engineer at Microsoft Education developing learning tools for 90M teachers and students worldwide, and I taught high school computer science with TEALSK12.

Here are some projects I'm excited about:
We quantify the dimensions of high quality feedback apply our automated measures and characterize the written feedback of expert teachers and LLMs. Can we adapt LLMs to do better?
We develop measures for language practices in multilingual students' math conversations. What do these measures tell us about student sense-making and collaboration?
We measure the punitive and restorative attitudes reflected in teachers' classroom management language at scale. What do the patterns tell us about classroom identities and dynamics?
