Mindful Life, Responsible AI.

My work is grounded in how we nurture wellbeing in the era of AI. I work at the confluence where fast technology meets slow thinking: where a dataset comes alive through community, where an algorithm is guided by human oversight, and where disciplinary silos give way to shared knowledge systems.

Proyecto Los Lagos
Universidad de Chile

Summer rainfall in Chile's Los Lagos region has declined by nearly 50% over the past decade, contributing to a 30% reduction in crop yields and livestock capacity. For rain-dependent farming communities in the Llanquihue Province, water scarcity is already reshaping livelihoods.

As a Visiting Professor at the University of Chile, I am working alongside these communities to co-design water governance tools grounded in Responsible AI principles and guided by the people who steward them.

Editorial Workflow
Great Plains Research

As Editor of Great Plains Research, I am building an Editorial Operations System on accessible, secure technology with no barriers to entry. This self-directed initiative augments workflows that were once entirely email-based — designed to streamline operations for editors and contributors without requiring new skills or additional logins.

The goal is to enable everyone involved to focus on what matters most: co-creating a dynamic platform for dialogue, discovery, and meaningful impact. As part of this work, I developed and vetted the journal's Responsible Use of AI and Generative Tools policy, establishing a governance framework alongside the operational one.
