I focus on the human in the equation enabling companies I work with to mitigate ethical risks and build trust while gaining a competitive edgeI believe we need practical and accessible ways to keep humanity centered in the face of rapidly advancing AI in order to prevent harm, reduce bias, require transparency, be accountable, honor privacy, and act with integrity when designing, building, sustaining, and using AI. I am committed to turning those beliefs into action and helping others develop the tools they need to do the same. With over fifteen years of experience, I help companies find a balance between business needs and their users' needs in a sustainable, intentional, and ethical way. I’m a generalist but my expertise lies in understanding human nature and cultivating connection and intentional, productive communication. Each of these are essential to creating, implementing, and communicating ethical frameworks while designing AI and other technology. My past experience included supporting cross functional teams in understanding users and building products which create meaningful, helpful relationships between them.
