About Me
I am an applied scientist at Zillow, where I work to make the experimentation platform scalable, fast, and trustworthy. Formerly, I worked on the Zillow Offers Underwriting team, where I applied techniques from causal inference and machine learning to housing economics. I graduated with my PhD in statistics from the UW in September 2021.
I’m from Huntsville, Texas, home of the 67-foot Sam Houston statue and 7 different prisons! I went to Pomona College, studying math, stats, and CS. After undergrad, I spent a year modeling energy systems and carbon emissions at Energy and Environmental Economics in San Francisco, before moving to Seattle to start my PhD at the UW. I’m an amateur cross-country, track, and trail runner with Club Northwest, I backpack all over the world, and I play the piano. I’m also a sucker for a good happy hour ;).
