For over four years, I've been committed to the development of the Voice Tech Global community and its mission. We've hosted over 60+ events including workshops, panel discussions, seminars and demo nights. The last year saw much of my effort dedicated to establishing our two conversation design curriculums, and teaching and mentoring our students. My other role is as the Director of our Civic Lab team, which is a working group within the organization committed to providing hands-on learning experiences working with cross-functional teams to develop products for social good.

At Connected I had the opportunity to work for a wide variety of companies and help them navigate complexity, understand their customers, identify opportunities and design exciting, desirable and shape people-centred products and value propositions. This helped me to develop confidence in collaborating closely with cross-functional teams and communicating my research, design and strategy with different stakeholders and leadership teams. In addition to my product design practice, I worked to establish Connected Labs, an internal research and development program, where I spent time exploring new applications of emergent technologies while collaborating closely with researchers, engineers, product managers and designers.
