As someone who works for Google's Trust & Safety team, I’ve seen how AI and algorithms can change lives for better and worse. My job is to help shape policies and systems that protect people.

But honestly? This work isn’t just my career, it’s personal!

​

A few years ago, I came across a news story about AI being used to violate people’s lives (young children) in a really disturbing way. As a parent, it hit me hard. I realized tech isn’t just about cool features or convenience, it’s about real people with real lives. That moment lit a fire in me.

Now, I spend my days:

• Teaching AI Ethics at Emory and Cal State, because the next generation needs to build tech with heart.

• Speaking and writing about how to keep tech humane.

• Spreading awareness thru talks, trainings and mentorship.
