~ Heyooo ~
I'm Emily
I'm just another human being trying to navigate life. Sometimes with amazement, confusion, pain, excitement, and more… ah, the diversity of experiences! The world is an interesting place, isn't it?
…ok so who am I really? The following text is an attempt to answer that question, though it is an imcomplete answer.

~ About ~
I graduated with a B.S. in computer science from MIT in June 2023, and did a chain of software and data-related internships across Europe this past year through the MIT MISTI program (London, United Kingdom; Amsterdam, Netherlands; Copenhagen, Denmark). I'm planning to do the MATS program in AI Safety this summer in an attempt to investigate and discover how I want to make a positive impact on the world.
In the past, I started a campaign to get my local city council to support bills promoting sustainability, built a Chrome Extension that makes Facebook less distracting, and organized some communities (for instance, EA Meditation Linktree, EA Coworking Discord, EA Mental Health & nEArodivergent Support Discord) for people interested in doing good.
