About Me

I am a software engineer at Microsoft and a Ph.D. candidate at Indiana University, working with Dr. Sandra Kübler. I major in Computational Linguistics with a minor in Computer Science. Before coming back to graduate school for my Ph.D. degree, I worked as a software engineer for Oracle and SUSE Linux. I also did an internship at Interactions LLC and worked on dialogue systems.
