Building transparent, trustworthy civic infrastructure at the intersection of UX research, data systems, and election integrity.
I'm a Solutions Architect at Civera, a civic technology company building election transparency and integrity tools. I work at the intersection of product, research, and go-to-market strategy — translating complex technical systems into compelling narratives for government buyers.
Before Civera, I spent nearly eight years at Google News working on election integrity, content personalization, and misinformation. I've also worked as a Senior UX Researcher at Availity and reported for the Center for Investigative Reporting and Current TV.
My approach is grounded in evidence — I'm as comfortable in a user research session as I am interpreting data anomalies or writing an RFP response. I believe good civic technology is indistinguishable from good design: clear, trustworthy, and built for real people.
Outside of work, I chair Somerville's Memorialization Committee, have consulted with the City of Boston's Mayor's Office of Housing, and volunteered with U.S. Digital Response.
Leading solutions architecture for a suite of election transparency products — ElectionShield, ElectionStats, Ballot Verifier, and a campaign finance platform. Own the full arc from technical scoping and RFP responses to product positioning and government buyer engagement.
Led mixed-methods research across healthcare technology products. Drove research programs informing product roadmap decisions, conducted usability studies, and mentored junior researchers in qualitative and quantitative methods.
Nearly eight years working on some of the most consequential information challenges of our time: election integrity, misinformation, and content personalization at global scale. Collaborated across engineering, policy, and product to build systems that served billions of users.
Reported on policy, technology, and public interest topics. Developed expertise in multimedia journalism, data-driven storytelling, and accountability reporting.
I'm always interested in conversations about civic technology, election integrity, UX research, and the intersection of data and democracy.
