CV Research TeachinG & Experience Publications & Presentations Awards Leadership & Service Gallery

Hello! ◡̈ I am a Computer Science graduate student at Texas A&M University–Corpus Christi, beginning my master's in Spring 2026. I graduated with a BS in Fall 2025, with minors in Mathematics and Criminal Justice.

I seek to pursue a Ph.D. in Computer Science with a focus on safe, secure, and trustworthy AI in Fall 2026 and a career in academia, supported by three NSF REUs, research assistantships, and teaching experience.

My research has spanned agentic intelligence safety and trustworthiness, multi-agent system and LLM agent security, and machine learning/RAG methodologies. I have conducted these projects across institutions and continue to expand in these directions! (see “Research” section!).

Beyond research, I taught College Algebra recitations, completed NSF mechatronics training at Michigan Tech, served as a CAHSI advocate, and led statewide student volunteer efforts.
