I solve impossible problems for no-fail missions. Building adequate housing in the villas of Buenos Aires. Protecting the livelihoods of Afghan women and girls. Inventing an algorithm to recover hostages overseas. Developing a simulation to customize tactical gear and training programs for elite female operators. Combatting global threats to security, climate, and malign influence with tech that didn’t exist 5 years ago. My career stretches as wide as my mind. The constant is that if it can’t be done, I want to do it.
I got here with a no-limits mindset, massive amounts of curiosity, and enduring clarity. Day to day, I find that everything I do involves dismantling assumptions, embracing uncertainty, getting to yes, and… art - whether it seems immediately obvious or not. (I actually started college as a Fine Arts major). Now, Im a woman leading at the fringes of unconventional warfare; a scientist accelerating tech that benefits humanity; a futurist preparing a military ever-focused on yesterday’s war; and a creator expressing the quiet parts out loud. My identity is as diverse as my demographic.
Some days I’m downrange on a battlefield and some days I’m back home in briefing rooms. Being a serial entrepreneur inside the public sector means exchanging a Founder headline for paced, macro-scale change. I have a say in what the future looks like for an S&P500 corporation, the strongest military on Earth, and the small collection of people to my left and right. There’s nothing more disruptive or earnest than that.
From Press to experiences and select moments in between, I’m living my purpose.

I'm an active scholar with widely circulated work addressing diverse audiences across industries. My leadership in tactical AI, gender bias, cognitive engineering, complex machine teaming, and military technologies is thought provoking and credible.
I've learnt and am learning always. Beyond academia, I'm a big fan of wellness, tea, collecting art, period pieces on streaming media, and slow mornings. Y charlando con cualquier porteño con quien me encuentro por la calle.
