Welcome to my little corner of the internet! I'm currently an undergrad at UCLA studying math and philosophy. I spend most of my time split between running AI Safety at UCLA and working on collective intelligence research with Equilibria Network. Outside of AI safety, I’m a big foodie and love running, hiking, and any sort of outdoor activity where I’ll break a sweat.
