My Background

I am currently Senior Director of Content Strategy at Hearst Magazines, where I lead audience growth, search strategy, editorial systems, and cross-functional product initiatives across a portfolio of major lifestyle brands including Good Housekeeping and Cosmopolitan.
 

Over 13 years in media — first as a journalist and content producer at ABC Owned Television Stations, then as an SEO and audience strategist, and now as a cross-functional strategy leader — I've developed a rare combination: the ability to translate between technical and non-technical teams, the facilitation skills to bring people through uncertainty, and the systems thinking to understand why organizational change succeeds or fails.
 

In my current role, I've led the development of AI-assisted editorial workflows used by hundreds of writers and editors, built large-scale training programs on AI strategy and digital best practices, and served as a strategic bridge between editorial, product and commerce teams on major platform initiatives.
 

Outside of my formal role, I'm actively building my understanding of AI safety: immersing myself in expert opinions through books and blog posts, participating in AI-focused programs and hackathons, and seeking out the people and organizations working on these questions seriously.
