I’ve used data to drive organizational change across industries for 15+ years. My work in responsible AI, public health, and policy has helped reduce social inequity through rigorous research and strategic thinking.
Building things from scratch is what I love. I thrive in settings where there is no blueprint to follow, connecting ideas and people from different disciplines to inspire new initiatives.
I’ve loved data since I was a kid but was never satisfied with number-crunching alone. The best science combines data with storytelling to inspire change.
For 15 years, I’ve worked in academic, non-profit, and technology sectors to turn data into action. I’ve focused on Responsible AI for the past 5 years, leading teams that ensure machine learning and technology do not promote societal harm or inequity. Currently, I am the Head of Research & Insights for Trust & Safety at Spotify.
As an undergrad humanities major working in technology, I’m also passionate about non-linear careers. I often advise students, grads, or people exploring career changes on how to find the next step in their journey.
Long before Harvard Business Review, I always thought data science was sexy. A data nerd my entire life, I use data for everything from evaluating how state laws affect public health and racial equity, to forecasting what TED talks go viral. My academic and industry research covers machine learning, experimental design, causal inference, and complex systems modeling.
In addition to leading responsible AI programs at multiple tech companies, I’ve volunteered with non-profit organizations to promote responsible technology. While an Assembly Fellow at the Berkman Klein Center, I co-founded AI Blindspot to help civil society organizations understand how structural inequities affect artificial intelligence. We partnered with design justice and civil society leaders to develop interactive workshops on AI ethics and social equity.
"No matter what you do, your job is to tell your story." It's a thrill to take complex science and turn it into accessible, engaging content for different audiences. Click here to see my past talks, blogs, podcasts, and media interviews.
