While I’m one of roughly two million Emmas out there, I like to think my path is a little less common. I’m a first-generation, international student-athlete from Austria pursuing Cognitive Science & Computing at UCLA while competing on the NCAA D1 Women’s Rowing team.

I consider myself a polymath. People often use "jack of all trades" as a critique, but they forget the full quote: "A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one." I actively seek mastery across distinct worlds, from quantitative research and fine art to intelligent systems and human-centered AI.

Feel free to explore my work below, and if you're in LA, I'm always down to grab a matcha or coffee!
