Hey! People call me Jebby, or Jenny, or Jen. The bloggers call me Jebby. You can call me by any of these names.
I was born in Atlanta (Go Braves!) and grew up in Montgomery, Alabama. I got my degree in 6-4: Artificial Intelligence and Decision Making in May 2025, and now I'm an MEng student. I reside in Ashdown House, but I lived in Next House for all four years of undergrad.
My research interests lie at the intersection between AI, robotics, and computer vision. In my free time I write fiction, draw, and listen to my 100+ playlists (I wish I was exaggerating). I also LOVE to watch movies. In an alternate timeline, I would've gone to film school.
Outside of classes, I've enjoyed a rich buffet of creative outlets on-campus. I've worked on a few artistic projects for MIT Admissions, including a few of the Pi Day animations and some merch design, and I also make illustrations for the MIT Instagram. I also discovered creative writing in junior year, and now I'm trying to write a novel. Writing is surprisingly hard, man. But it's really fun. That's something I've learned from being a blogger.
MIT has certainly been a rough journey, but it was also where I discovered joy in friendships and interests that I wouldn't have imagined I would ever experience. Feel free to stick around and take a peek into some of the snapshots of my life as a student, from freshman year to now.
Who inspired me to become a blogger: Allie Brosh, Jon Bois, Kate Beaton
