About Me

I live with my husband Eric, a doctoral candidate in Behavioral Economics at CMU, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. We have a dog, Sasha (pictured), and a few temperamental cats.

I commute monthly to San Jose for work at MapR and can probably be found at various Big Data conferences around the world or somewhere around Glacier National Park in the summertime (ideally).

Most of my free time is now spent reading about the technical challenges in ML but I'm also working on the Russian language, dreaming of the mountains, and voraciously reading.

I firmly believe in living a life of compassion and evolution.
