I am a rising sophomore at Harvard college pursuing a double concentration in Computer Science and English. For my research summer I worked at Harvard Kennedy School's Fandom and Social Connection Initiative, investigating how shared sports fandom can be used to mitigate the effects of social isolation. I am interested in the intersection of technology and social connection, and how we can use digital tools to create a more connected society.
