I received my Master's in Computer Science at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, where I was advised by Dr. Lara Martin and worked on affective and personalized text generation for AAC applications.

My research interests span interdisciplinary work in Human-AI Collaboration for Accessibility across multiple modalities – Vision, Text and Audio – as well as ensuring that the models used are also Explainable and Reliable. Currently, I'm taking a year off to pursue personal interests, and will be applying to PhD positions for Fall '26. If you're interested in making XAI more useful to disabled people, feel free to reach out — I'd love to collaborate.
