I'm currently a fifth year PhD student at Lehigh University, where I conduct research with the Scalable Systems and Software Research Group under the advisement of Professor Roberto Palmieri. My research focuses on concurrent data structures and optimizing them for modern multi-processor, multi-core machines by tailoring them to leverage specific characteristics of modern application workloads. I previously graduated from Lehigh with my M.S. in Computer Science in 2023, and my B.S. in Computer Science, Summa Cum Laude, in 2021.
I'm very passionate about collaboration and supporting my peers, especially supporting fellow women in the male-dominated field of Computer Science.Â
I was the Co-President of the Women in Computer Science (WiCS) club at Lehigh for over three years (2021-2024). The WiCS Executive Board and I built WiCS from the ground up, and I'm proud to say that we developed a community of women in Computer Science at Lehigh who frequently come together for technical learning experiences, professional development events, and social outings.
Additionally, I previously served as the Secretary and then Vice President of the Graduate Student Senate Executive Board, where I communicated with and advocated for students, working to enhance the graduate life experience at Lehigh.
In my personal time, I like to spend time with family, friends, and pets! My orange cat Simon adds a whole lot of sass to my daily life :) I enjoy playing games, whether it be board games (some favorites are Catan and Rummikub), or outdoor games like pickleball or cornhole. I also love music and singing, and one of my favorite experiences was being part of the Lehigh Echoes A Cappella group as an undergraduate at Lehigh.
