“More of Us.”

I believe there are more of us who want dignity, freedom, and a real sense of belonging—for ourselves, our families, and our communities. For 20+ years, I’ve worked alongside workers, communities, and everyday people to push back on unfair systems and build something better, and to prove that when more of us are at the table, more of us can thrive.

My work sits at the intersection of technology, labor, markets, and public accountability—and I’ve spent my career helping governments, companies, and communities navigate what happens when those systems collide.

Work and the economy: I’ve worked directly with federal and state agencies to examine how new technologies are reshaping wages, job quality, and worker power—and to push for policies that protect people from exploitation while supporting a strong, modern economy.

Public safety and national defense: Through my work advising companies and engaging community stakeholders, I’ve helped shape how emerging safety technologies are developed and governed. I also lead  a national working group that tracks the rollout of public safety and national defense technologies equips communities, advocates, and policymakers with practical tools for oversight, transparency, and responsible use.

Technology and AI: I’ve spent years analyzing how AI and digital systems are built, funded, and deployed—from venture capital pipelines to real-world workplace tools. My work centers on making these systems more transparent, fair, and accountable so they serve workers, communities, and democratic institutions—not just shareholders.

At my core, I’m a builder and a systems operator.
I connect leaders across government, industry, and community to solve problems that don’t fit neatly into one box—and I’ve done that as a policy leader, advisor, founder, and researcher.

My first book, “The Human Interface: How Workers Can Step Into the Tech Conversation—and Lead It“, is coming out in May 19th, 2026.
