Writing

I started the organization Fair Bytes to advance AI ethics education for all ages through byte-sized content & resources. As part of Fair Bytes, I've written many short (byte-sized) pieces about research and resources related to fairness and ethics of AI.

I also like to write fiction and occasionally write about school, life, and other topics.
