Consultant, advisor, and expert generalist based in New York City. Currently bridging the gap between public policy, innovation strategy, and emerging tech.


I’m a lifelong policy wonk interested in exploring the social issues and opportunities created by emerging tech. My career has taken me from crunching data and programming language models, to managing innovation strategies for a variety of clients. Most recently, I’m spending time thinking about the future of democracy and public welfare in the age of AI.

My work has covered a wide array of technology and policy issues, ranging from managing important federal initiatives to advising key government departments. Along the way, I've also navigated the private sector, utilizing data science and forecasting to support decision-making. Across these experiences, my goal has always been to foster growth, not just for me, but for my entire team.

CV


I've had the opportunity to wear many hats in my professional journey, ranging from data science to management consulting to policy advising . My work has had a broad impact, influencing everything from the White House’s cybersecurity education and workforce strategy to municipal governments’ approaches to adopting AI.

Alongside my professional roles, I've contributed thought leadership to AI ethics, and have had my forecasting research read and shared by influential decision-makers in the diplomatic, intelligence, military, and academic communities.

While I'm based in New York City, I am open to travel for client engagements that align with my expertise and passion in the intersection of emerging technology and innovation strategy.
