Hello! I am a content and conversation designer, speaker, thought leader, ethics advocate, and professional violinist. My passion is connecting to users through the construction of words and sound. Currently, I am working on a contract as a content designer at Microsoft.
Outside of work, I co-host Convers(AI)tions, an educational series of panel discussions about conversational AI. I am also an ambassador for the Open Voice Network TrustMark project, co-authoring the Linux Foundation's Ethical Principles for Conversational AI course on the edX platform and the Open Voice Networks Ethical Principles for Voice Experiences white paper. Previously, I co-hosted the podcast Voice Spark Live from 2021-2022, helping people make the most of their voice-enabled technologies.
Speaking engagements include the European Chatbot and Generative AI Summit, Unparsed, VOICE & AI, and others. Other engagements include interviews on Conversations Squared from VUX World and more and featuring as a Voicefluencer on "The Voice Den." Awards include winning the Digital Assistant Academy's Hackabot 2021.
As a violinist, I have given unique and exciting performances for audiences all around the world, collaborated with musicians of the highest caliber, and played in venues such as Carnegie Hall. You can catch me on episodes of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and Amazon's TV Series Mozart in the Jungle.
