I’ve been increasingly interested in the role gender dynamics play in organizational and institutional strategy, especially in the fields of data and artificial intelligence. More than ever, we can see the way that male gender expectations are codified in law and institutional values. Dominance, expansion, and aggressive competition are celebrated in AI as evidenced by CEOs publicly sharing how much they’ve cut their staffing in favor of spending that money on machines, or the very concept of ‘token-maxing’, the idea that you are somehow more valuable, intelligent, or worthwhile if you are able to generate the most output from the cloud.

Read moreOur digital lives are increasingly noisy, shaped by the gigabytes of information that we consume on a daily basis. The bits and bytes that make their way into our psychology via messages, articles, videos, shorts, and podcasts are algorithmically curated to latch into relevancy. Platforms that serve information to us use our attention to personalize recommendations and advertisements, leaving us in a swirling vortex of information. Within this landscape of information, our software can become truly individualized, facilitated by thoughtful design of emergent applications that center user privacy, customization, and co-constructed features.
Read moreAs our realities trend toward the algorithmic, we’re no longer just technology users — we are participants in an evolving dialogue between human intent and machine capability. We can watch from the sidelines as a new paradigm in human-computer interaction evolves or we can build it.
At the core, this is about changing how we engage with information, each other, and the world around us. AI is reshaping how computer systems are designed to process, synthesize, and navigate information.
Read moreI hold a lot of value in the ‘self’ that I express through technology. Platforms like Facebook have an ‘irrevocable use’ clause in their terms of service that allows them to do what they’d like with your data in the name of ‘improving their services’, but you technically still own your data. So, I took it upon myself to start using that information for my own benefit.
Read moreThree years ago, my husband and I sold our house in Maryland and headed to New York City. I had just been accepted to Columbia Business School for their Saturday Executive MBA program. I finished my courses at Columbia in February, and have a lot of complicated feelings about it. It’s the most beautiful time of the year to be in Astoria, but this is my last week in New York City.
