I’m a writer, program designer and dancer based in New York City.

I’ve spent the last several years researching how people use—and are used by—information technology, with a particular interest in how information can be can be wielded as a tool to surveil, subordinate, and disenfranchise people. Most recently, I managed research and partnerships for the Information Futures Lab at Brown University.

I love teaching and have led workshops for thousands of journalists and organizers around the world, with clients at ABC, Documented, UNICEF, Journalists for Human Rights, Investigative Reporters & Editors, WHO, AfricaCheck, the International Foundation for Electoral Systems in Tunisia, and more.

My masters is from the Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY, where I reported on criminal justice reform and incarcerated kids in New York City’s jails. Seeing how some of the most vulnerable people in our society are forced to navigate a cruel and unforgiving system continues to be a lodestar in my career.

I have also worked in food & sustainability and helped develop what eventually became the Culinary Institute of America’s masters program in Food Business. Off hours, I’m an afro-latin dancer with a primary background in salsa and traditional bachata.
