About me
I am an AI and digital strategist, campaign lead, and communications leader with 20+ years driving transformative initiatives across CNN, PBS, Voice of America, and Greenpeace International. I specialize in AI implementation, change management, and building resilient systems for mission-driven organizations.
What sets me apart is practical AI expertise combined with implementation experience. I'm pioneering AI adoption at the enterprise level, training global teams on tools from ChatGPT to NotebookLM while designing and leading international campaigns. I'm also co-leading organizational change initiatives, helping reshape culture and operations during critical transitions.
My career spans international newsrooms in Cairo and Dubai, campaign strategy sessions and volunteer training from the West Bank to Paris to Jakarta, and digital transformation projects across multiple continents. This global experience, combined with extensive community volunteering from electoral canvassing to climate action organizing in Virginia, gives me unique insight into how technology can bridge institutional strategy and grassroots impact.
I'm passionate about helping mission-driven organizations leverage AI and digital innovation to amplify their impact. Whether working with environmental groups, humanitarian organizations, or democracy-building initiatives, I bring the technical expertise and leadership experience to modernize operations while maintaining authentic stakeholder engagement. The future belongs to organizations that can fuse advanced technology with genuine community connection, and I'm committed to building that bridge.

I inspire organizations
to embrace innovation
through passion and leadership
Throughout my career leading teams and building movements, I've learned that transformative change happens when advanced capabilities meet ground-level engagement. My years working in the Middle East, and campaign work across Asia, Africa, and Latin America, have reinforced a core belief: technology and strategy mean nothing without authentic community connection and cultural understanding.
What energizes me most is seeing how AI and digital tools can amplify community resilience. Some of my most meaningful experiences come from volunteer work: training neighbors in digital organizing, supporting local climate initiatives, canvassing door-to-door. These experiences constantly inform my professional approach, showing how technology can either widen gaps or bridge them, depending on how it's deployed and who it serves.
I believe the overlapping crises of the climate crisis, rising autocracy, wealth inequality and technological transformation demand evolved leadership: technically sophisticated but community-rooted, globally informed but locally engaged. The organizations making real difference are those combining high-level expertise with authentic service. AI and digital transformation are powerful tools, but they require trust, relationships, and cultural understanding to create genuine impact.
We're in a moment of systemic transition requiring both strategic vision and human connection. The future belongs to those who can bridge worlds: technology and humanity, strategy and service, expertise and humility. Whether in my professional role or community involvement, I'm committed to building these bridges, ensuring that innovation serves people rather than replacing human agency and connection.
