Hi, I’m Gabriel — an advocate and writer passionate about using technology and media to reduce systemic inequity.

I study Government, Computer Science, and African-American Studies at Harvard University. I’ve combine computer and political science as a framework for solving societal questions. In a time where our society is rapidly developing, I am fascinated by the intersection of technology and culture and hope to use my research to understand modern political science questions regarding race, equity, and tech. As a hopeful lawyer and academic, I hope to use data science to guide law and policy that protects our society and empowers democracy.
