From Deadlines to Datasets...

I've spent my career navigating the space where complex human stories meet the need for clear, reliable information. Whether reporting from a newsroom or training a large language model, my goal has always been the same: ensuring that the information people receive is accurate, nuanced, and trustworthy.

Today, I'm a member of the Content Engineering team in Meta's Superintelligence Labs, where I lead our team's Trust and Safety efforts. I use my investigative instincts to build frameworks that make generative AI safer and more reliable.

Before entering the world of AI, I was an Emmy-nominated journalist chasing breaking stories for ABC News and the Daily Mail. That fast-paced background taught me how to find the signal in the noise—a skill that is more necessary than ever.

When I'm not working, I'm usually plotting my next trip (I've hit 50 countries and counting!), honing my nascent screenwriting skills, or searching for the perfect restaurant—a habit I've had since I was a kid writing food reports in my travel journals.

Screenwriting

In my spare time, I trade system prompts for scripts. I am currently developing several screenplays that explore the hazards and humor of the modern world.
