What I'm looking for

I seek research or program roles in education or climate education that use mixed methods, offer collaborative teams, and support impact-driven policy and curriculum work.

I am an Informatics and Sociology student at the University of Washington, graduating in 2026 with a 3.92 GPA and eight quarters on the Dean’s List. I combine quantitative and qualitative methods to study education policy and climate change education, contributing to multiple research projects and publications in progress.

My hands-on experience includes building AI-assisted codebooks and coding databases at AIR, cleaning and analyzing datasets with Excel, Airtable, and ATLAS.ti, designing K–8 curriculum, mentoring learners, and presenting research to national and university audiences.
