Hello! I’m an aspiring data analyst eventually seeking to pivot towards a career in language modeling. I am currently pursuing an MS in Analytics as a graduate student at the Georgia Institute of Technology. I previously graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles with a Bachelor of Science in Cognitive Science and a minor in Asian American Studies.

I am truly humbled and grateful for each experience that has molded my pursuit as a working professional. At Invisible Technologies, I quantitatively assessed language data output at Invisible Technologies, Inc. As an undergraduate researcher, I generated and evaluated GPT-2 poetry for my honors thesis project, as well as visualized the relationships between semantic qualities of verbs utilizing a computational model representing words as multidimensional vectors. 

In my free time, I write poems and short stories and publish my work in magazines. I also enjoy reading and cooking homestyle Korean food. 

If you have any questions about my experiences or simply want to connect, please contact me through LinkedIn directly or email (ashleykim2000@g.ucla.edu). I look forward to connecting with you!
