I am a technology policy professional with over a decade of experience helping nonprofits, philanthropies, and public agencies navigate the challenges of artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies. Most recently, I served as a Program Officer at The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM), where I led multidisciplinary teams of experts to produce rigorous and relevant studies that informed federal agencies on the adoption and governance of emerging technologies. I negotiated and executed projects with diverse sponsors, ranging from transportation to defense, and delivered impactful recommendations and insights.I have a Master of Public Policy (MPP) from Harvard Kennedy School, where I honed my skills in policy analysis, international relations, and politics. I also have a strong academic background in sociology and anthropology from Georgetown University and Oxford University. I am passionate about exploring the social, ethical, and economic implications of artificial intelligence, automation, and facial recognition technologies, and how they can be used to improve the lives of people and communities. I am always eager to learn from and collaborate with diverse stakeholders and experts in this dynamic and evolving field.
