Hi, I’m Rivka!
I’m a freshman at MIT studying mathematics, computer science, and economics. I’m interested in causal inference, econometrics, and data science.
Previously, I attended Proof School, a math-focused middle and high school in San Francisco. I also did a project (see full paper) measuring the causal effect of strict voter ID laws on election turnout.
I’ve been fencing for eleven years. I spent five years fencing saber before deciding to switch to foil in 2019. I mostly practice foil now, but still occasionally dabble in epee and saber. I’m also a certified referee in all three weapons, with experience at the national level.
In my free time, I enjoy writing on my blog, solving Rubik’s cubes, and making cool things with my 3D printer.
