About
Public service has been the throughline of my career—from supporting disaster recovery with the U.S. Small Business Administration to advancing democratic and economic development with the U.S. Agency for International Development. As a former federal Contracting Officer, I led cross-border efforts in regulatory compliance, humanitarian assistance, and strategic planning.
I’m now deepening my expertise in AI governance and global data privacy as part of a broader commitment to ethical and inclusive technology policy. This is not just a career shift—it’s a continuation of my personal and professional growth. I’m focused on supporting developing countries, particularly EU accession states, in aligning their digital governance with frameworks like the EU AI Act and GDPR.
Currently pursuing certifications in CIPP/E and AI Governance through the IAPP, I am building the tools to serve as a trusted advisor at the intersection of technology, human rights, and global development. In 2026, I hope to begin a new chapter of service as a Peace Corps Volunteer—bringing my skills full circle to support local communities from the ground up, or to find a place in which I can make a positive impact and also have a paycheck.
