I am a Computer Science student at UNC Charlotte, currently in the MS in Artificial Intelligence Early Entry program, concentrating in AI, Robotics, and Gaming. My coursework and research have centered on computer vision and human-centered AI, including work on spatial audio-augmented navigation tools using Apple Vision Pro, ARKit, and RealityKit to support accessibility for visually impaired users. I am actively applying what I learn through hands-on research and development, working across Swift, Python, and machine learning frameworks to build and test real systems.
Alongside my technical work, I have experience mentoring first-year CS students and volunteering with FIRST Robotics, where I have supported program coordination and helped others build foundational skills and confidence. I am also a Kode With Klossy Scholar and a UR2PhD Scholar, and currently contribute as a CRA REU researcher at Stevens Institute of Technology.
I am particularly interested in research, documentation, and applied AI work that has direct real-world impact, especially where technology can support accessibility and human wellbeing. My goal is to grow into a researcher who can bridge technical development with thoughtful, user-centered design, using intelligently deployed technology to make people's lives better.
