About

I studied Psychology at Johns Hopkins University, where I developed a fascination with how people think, make decisions, and interact with complex systems. This curiosity led me into UX design, where I've spent the last few years at Wolters Kluwer designing AI-enabled tools for finance and corporate compliance—the kind of high-stakes environments where user experience can make or break critical business decisions.

I specialize in designing experiences where human intelligence and artificial intelligence enhance rather than compete with each other. The most powerful AI tools are the ones that feel intuitive and trustworthy, especially when people are using them to navigate complex domains like legal compliance or policy development. At Wolters Kluwer, I've led research and design for features like conversational search and automated risk monitoring.

Outside my day job, I channel this same empathy-driven thinking into animal advocacy work. I recently completed a fellowship focused on AI for animal protection, where I designed Pawlicy Pal, an AI policy copilot that helps advocates draft animal protection laws and and move them through local processes by collaborating with legal professionals. Whether I'm designing enterprise software or advocacy tools, the challenge is always the same: how do we build technology that amplifies human capability without overwhelming human judgment?

When I'm not at my computer, you'll find me with my camera, capturing the natural world that reminds me why thoughtful design—and advocacy—matters in the first place.
