About

Hello! I'm Ricky, a junior at Harvard University studying Statistics and Mathematics.

I'm a first-generation college student from Manchester, New Hampshire. On campus, I serve as a Run Leader for Harvard on the Move, Content Lead for the Harvard Open Data Project, and Co-President for the Group for Undergraduates in Statistics at Harvard.

Additionally, I'm a Teaching Fellow for STAT 100 ("Introduction to Statistics and Data Science"). In this role, I've developed supplementary material, including practice problems and review slides.

Interests

Broadly, I'm interested in data science and machine learning. Last summer, I worked with Prof. Sebastian Munoz-Najar Galvez to study generative AI and its effects on college writing. This summer, I will be working with Prof. Francesca Dominici to study causal inference applied to air pollution and legislation in America.

I'm also passionate about educational equity. I've held various roles at Breakthrough Manchester, a non-profit supporting underrepresented students on their path to college.

Outside of academics, I enjoy spending time outdoors and with friends.
