I’m a PhD candidate in Computer Science at the Courant Institute at NYU working on multimodal representation learning and AI for health, and advised by Rajesh Ranganath. I’m a DeepMind Scholar and an advisor to alphaXiv. I’m also a Shakti VC Fellow and co-hosted The AI Health Podcast with Pranav Rajpurkar.

Before joining NYU, I worked on research on Apple’s Health AI team and in Andrew Ng’s Stanford Machine Learning Group. In a previous life, I was Anna Wintour’s executive assistant at Vogue (remember The Devil Wears Prada?), and I’ve held engineering and product roles across both big tech (Apple, Amazon) and start-ups (SeatGeek, Common).

I have an MBA from the Stanford Graduate School of Business, an MS in Computer Science from Stanford University, and a BA in Comparative Literature from Yale University. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, and am half-Cuban and half-Greek.
