Teaching

I’m passionate about teaching and improving accessibility of computer science, machine learning, and natural language processing. I hope to help expose more students to these topics earlier on and make introductory classes accessible to students without prior exposure.

• I was a TA for Mark Dredze’s Machine Learning class, Fall 2018.
• I help run the JHU chapter of the North American Computational Linguistics Olympiad for middle and high school students. This includes outreach to local schools about the olympiad, teaching them a bit about computational linguistics and the kind of research we do.
• I helped mentor high school students at Baltimore Polytech High School as part of their research program 2018-2019.
