Hi! I’m Katrina, an undergraduate senior at Harvard University, where I’m obtaining an undergraduate degree in Computer Science and Math, as well as a masters in Statistics. On campus, I conduct machine learning research at the Harvard Kempner Institute, where I’m interested in fairness, robustness, and capabilities of language and multimodal foundation models.

I hail from the cornfields of Indiana, and since then I’ve passed my time living in Cambridge MA, NYC, and Chicago. In my spare moments, I love to urban hike the streets of NYC, road bike in Colorado, read Substack voraciously, and infuse baked goods and smoothies with vegetables. My creative side manifests in violin, which I studied seriously under Mimi Zweig at the IU Jacobs School of Music from 5-16 years old, and more sporadically since. I enjoy teaching, speaking to crowds, working with interesting people, taking hard courses, and researching problems that are technical, challenging, and fun.
