As a data scientist for social good and Ph.D. student in the Social Welfare and Designated Emphasis in Computational and Data Science and Engineering Program at UC Berkeley, I am dedicated to using data and technology for the betterment of society. I am also a data consultant for the Data-intensive Social Sciences Lab (D-Lab) at the university.

My work involves acquiring open access data and utilizing data science tools to determine how these data can be leveraged to benefit the welfare system and the general public. Currently, my focus is on using data for promoting housing justice, conducting eviction research, and improving service accessibility for vulnerable populations. My research interests include computational methods for social welfare, community engagement and assessment, nonprofit development, and migrants’ well-being. I am also an avid fan of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology.
