I am an interdisciplinary designer exploring the systemic and social dimensions of technology, from the stability of emerging systems to how digital growth creates interconnected networks. My work focuses on open-source communities, civic technology, and the policy frameworks that support them.
By day, I am a Legislative Research Assistant at Lewis-Burke Associates, a
leading consulting firm, where my portfolio focuses on the nexus of emerging technology across industries, including national security and the environment.
I am also actively engaged in the tech community. I serve as a
Director of Civic Tech DC, a nonprofit of technologists developing open-source tech projects. I also serve as a
Fellow for the Internet Law and Policy Foundry,
organizer for ACM DC, and
Engagement Lead for
CIB Mango Tree, an open-source initiative building tools to detect coordinated inauthentic behavior.
Outside of tech, I am equally passionate about the environment. My family and I run an organic farm for young adults with disabilities, and I serve as an
Advisory Board Member for the environmental nonprofit, Alliance for Sustainability.
I graduated in 2024 with dual degrees in Environmental Science & Policy and Computer Science from
Smith College.
Previous roles included working with the White House, NOAA, UN, and the Senate.
