Biography

I am the proud daughter of an immigrant single mother. My extended family’s experiences with incarceration inform my worldview and push me to dedicate my career to ameliorating the American criminal justice system. As an undergraduate student at American University, I had the delight of serving the D.C. community through varied volunteer positions, including interning with Public Defenders’ offices and supporting local homeless outreach efforts. In these spaces, I learned from the firsthand experiences of justice-involved people, leading me to start ZeEntry, a nonprofit organization dedicated to closing the tech gap in the criminal justice system by connecting justice-involved individuals to Gen Z volunteers. During my MPhil in Criminology at Cambridge, I will study the policies that influence international criminal justice systems and consider how they might be improved to the benefit of all members of society. I am deeply honored to join the Gates Cambridge community as we collectively strive to contribute to a better world.
