About
I’m someone who seeks to understand how the world works.
I look for patterns across technology, society, and human behavior to understand why things are the way they are and where they might be going.
At the same time, I’m guided by a strong internal sense of values. I care about fairness, truth, and justice, and I don’t compromise on those principles.
My background spans AI safety operations, research, and policy. I managed operations for machine learning alignment researchers at MATS, completed research at EQTY Lab and MINT Lab, and have a Master’s in Public Policy and Management from Carnegie Mellon University.
I’m committed to making sure AI isn’t only understood by the people building it. I focus on making complex ideas clear and accessible so that more people can understand the systems shaping their lives.
I’m the founder of AI Safety Los Angeles (AISLA) and the creator of @asktheaigirl across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.
AISLA
AI Safety Los Angeles is a community focused on building thoughtful conversations around AI safety, security, and the systems shaping our future.
The goal is to bring together people from technical, policy, and creative backgrounds who care about understanding and shaping the direction of AI.
AISLA is designed to be accessible, social, and intellectually serious without being overwhelming. It creates space for genuine discussion, not performative debate.
