I am an AI Ethicist with a passion for social justice and technology.

​

Over the last 20 years, my corporate work required me to lead global projects in Diversity, Ethics, HR Strategy & Technology spanning more than 20 countries.

​

I am the founder of Lighthouse Career Consulting and www.aiEthicist.org, and have over fifteen years of senior level HR & Sales experience in Fortune 100 companies (Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Marriott Corporation).

 

​In addition to my initiatives, I also work for a Nevada-based social enterprise (High Sierra Industries) focused on learning systems for individuals with intellectual disabilities. I am in charge of HIPAA Privacy & Security, as well as the overall information security for the organization and multi-discipline projects.

​I am honored to serve on the board of directors for Northern Nevada International Center (University of Nevada-Reno), and management committee for Sierra Club Toiyabe Chapter.

​​

I try to create an impact in the conversation around AI ethics and bias through lectures, speaking engagements, global collaborations and aiEthicist.org platform. I work towards increasing public knowledge of the impact of AI and automated decision making systems in our lives while advocating for oversight, transparency or accountability, and enhance the space

As an AI ethicist, my pledge is to protect social justice and advocate for AI that protects the rights and dignity of the individual and societies – to the best of my abilities.  aiEthicist.org is my humble attempt to create a global repository of reference material and make it a first stop research point to anyone interested in the current discussions on consequences of automated-decision making and ethical, explainable, unbiased AI systems for social justice.
