Research Fellow for my SPAR research project to create high quality hiring resources and best practices for new AI Safety organizations. This project's theory of change is to help improve the hiring process for both the hiring teams and the candidates, which doing so, will improve the impact and focus that these AI Safety organizations can make. 

Fall 2026 Cohort -(Sept 14-Dec 14, 2026) - this research project is in current progress.

I'm also a Facilator for Lens Academy for their AI Safety on-courses. You can also follow me on my Substack blog, where I publish my more personal learnings based upon my experiences in the AI Safety community, your can connect with me on LinkedIn.

How others can help me

For my SPAR project, I'm reaching out to hiring teams at newer AI Safety organizations to understand their friction points and how to help them improve their hiring process. Any introductions or recommendations to connect with people in AI Safety, please reach out. Tks!
