I am a seasoned research leader with over 18 years of experience studying human-technology interaction. I bring deep expertise in tackling issues of privacy and consent, fairness, inclusion, accountability, and transparency—as they relate to AI experiences. During my career, I have directed human factors research for several novel and complex applications such as Microsoft's custom neural voice and facial recognition, and Medtronic's Micra™ (world’s smallest pacemaker), Attain™ Performa™ Advanced Quadripolar Lead, and CareLink Encore™ programmer. I wear many hats: research leader, strategist, storyteller, author, mentor, editor, keynote speaker, and sometimes adjunct professor. I have been cited by the American Psychological Association, the Economist, the Portuguese Economic Times, and included in LightHouse3’s 100 Brilliant Women in AI Ethics list, and was also the inaugural Fellow from Microsoft to the World Economic Forum. I have a PhD in Experimental Psychology (specialization in Human Factors and Ergonomics) from Texas Tech University and an undergraduate degree in Computer Science.
