About
I am pursuing a BA in Philosophy at the University of New Orleans. Here you will find some of my essays and student information.
I am interested in human cognition, behavior, and computer interaction, with a focus on the connection between language, understanding, and perception, as well as on how people interpret AI-generated responses.
My future project is to conduct research on how people’s initial perceptions of AI influence their beliefs, reasoning, decision-making, and trust. I aim to contribute to interdisciplinary work in AI ethics and human–machine interaction.
