Shaping the language of AI.

I made my way to this field through education. From leading schools, to starting my own company, to building content strategy from scratch, the theme in my career has been the same: good communication will always matter.

Today, I use those experiences as a content model design leader. I focus on two things: organizing data so AI models work better, and teaching people how to build and use AI tools with confidence‍. ‍

My leadership style

Hire capable people and expect them to do their best.

I’m an adaptive Agile leader who: takes advice from her team, asks questions, shares credit for success, encourages change, admits and learns from mistakes, focuses on customers, respects others, creates inclusive environments, responds to marketplace changes, and pushes organizations forward. I lead with integrity and humility.
