Thanks for visiting!
I am Professional Practice & Ethics Educator, researcher, and consultant. I work with regulated professionals and organizations to help the navigate ethical, technological, and compliance-related matters affecting their work and practice. My work focuses on professional judgement, confidentiality, accountability, and public trust. I specialize in responsible digital practice involving data and AI as well as communication and documentation coaching.
My Story
My journey was born from a longstanding interest in how professional responsibility and expectation evolves as practice changes.
The world is not static, nor are people and the technologies they use to communicate, evaluate, judge, and understand what goes on around them. The constant flux and change that humans and systems undergo each day makes it challenging for practicing professionals to keep up, especially when new tools, new platforms, and new forms of data-driven decision-making become part of everyday work.
​
This interest began when I started my professional and academic journey in the social sciences, where I became increasingly focused on how technologies shape professional life, institutional decision-making, and public trust.
​
I completed a PhD in Communication & Culture, with interdisciplinary training in media studies, surveillance studies, critical data studies, and the sociology of technology. Over the past decade, I have worked as a professor in Sociology and Political Science, researching and teaching on how digital systems transform professional life, institutional decision-making, and public accountability.
​
Alongside my academic work, I have advised public and private sector organizations on issues involving privacy, AI governance, and risk mitigation. I have seen firsthand that emerging technologies are not only technical innovations — they raise practical questions about confidentiality, documentation, ethical judgment, and defensible professional practice.
​
These experiences led me to focus my practice on supporting regulated professionals and organizations through structured education and coaching. Many practitioners are navigating evolving expectations without clear guidance or shared norms, particularly as AI tools and data systems become increasingly embedded in routine work.
​
Whether the focus is everyday communication, responsible technology use, or broader questions of professionalism and accountability, my aim is to provide practical, standards-aligned support that helps professionals feel grounded, resilient, and confident as practice continues to change.
Research & Public Engagement
In addition to practice education work, I contribute through writing, invited talks, and public engagement focused on ethics, technology, and regulated professional practice.
​
I am Principal Investigator of A Day in the Life of Metadata (ADITLOM), an international multidisciplinary research initiative examining how smartphone location data is collected and processed in real time, with the aim of supporting clearer public understanding and policy decision-making in digital privacy.
​
My academic work has appeared in leading peer-reviewed journals, and I remain engaged in scholarship and dialogue on the evolving responsibilities of professionals in technology-mediated practice.
