My entire career has been spent in the blurry lines between spaces, as a bridge and translator between disciplines and industries—and it is a role I enjoy and thrive in. Starting with my work at Columbia University in 2016, I have been continuously focused on building the capacity of current and future policymakers to navigate a policy environment that is now entirely dependent on technology.

I am an adjunct professor at Georgetown's McCourt School of Public Policy, where I teach courses on Public Interest Technology and the power of design in a policy environment. I am also the faculty advisor to the Georgetown Tech Policy Initiative (a student organization that crosses schools and degree programs) and a faculty affiliate at Georgetown’s Beeck Center for Social Impact and Innovation.

Outside of Georgetown, I host a podcast with my alma mater (William & Mary), and am an Associate Editor at a new international peer reviewed journal that aims to cultivate discussion and constructive debate around science, technology, innovation, policy, and the global south. Finally, I am a founding Advisory Board member of the Public Tech Leadership Collaborative—a collective of scholars and researchers, and government leaders committed to addressing the social and cultural implications of data and technology.

I used to teach at the Columbia University School of International and Public Affairs, and have developed short courses and workshops at other universities upon request, including: Princeton, Harvard, and Stanford.
