AI strategy for people enablement & group collaboration
My 15+ years’ experience combines industry consulting with AI research and university teaching. I’ve partnered with clients like American Express and VISA to build successful partnerships, enable sales & service teams, and create people-focused, actionable automation strategies.

I am currently a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford’s Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence and a full-time resident at Stanford’s Graduate School of Business IGNITE program.

Right now I’m focused on co-creating programs—from organizational design to events to individual workflows—that amplify human collaboration. This includes working with the Board of a new international AI nonprofit to architect its governance structure and member acquisition strategy, and overseeing operations for its 700-person conference. Or, leading a research initiative to discover AI best-practice use cases for non-tech industries, focused on governance, evaluation, and employee empowerment.

In the course I co-taught at Stanford this spring—on GenAI & Design—I guided students in building their own AI tools to support their creative and intellectual endeavors.

I hold a PhD from UC Berkeley where I wrote an award-winning book manuscript showing that the way we’ve historically framed the limits of AI—common sense, care, creative insight—reveals our values about being human and can inform our path toward building and integrating well aligned AI. My peer-reviewed writing has been published by MIT Press, University of Indiana Press, UC Press, and Fordham University Press (forthcoming). In 2023 I presented to the California State Legislature Tech Caucus as a subject-matter expert on responsible AI implementation in the public sector.

I’m a big-picture thinker who also loves to roll up my sleeves and work alongside people to build human-AI collaboration programs. I enjoy meeting new people and potential collaborators, so if you’re working in a similar space, please reach out.
