Graduating from Harvard Kennedy School. Heading to GovAI in London.

I am graduating from the Harvard Kennedy School with a Master in Public Policy (class of 2026). My capstone project, prepared for Mila (Quebec Artificial Intelligence Institute), proposed an early warning system for AI-driven job displacement in Canada. This summer, I join the GovAI Summer Fellowship in London to continue researching how AI reshapes labour markets and what governance institutions can do about it.

Before HKS, I grew up in Vancouver and studied commerce and psychology at UBC's Sauder School of Business. I spent three years at PwC Canada, where I advised the federal government on data governance and led responsible AI workshops for Canada's major banks in partnership with the Vector Institute. I co-authored a paper on AI model risk management, which we presented at the Canadian Conference on Artificial Intelligence.


Current Focus

  • Policy Analysis Exercise (completed). Built an early warning framework for AI-driven job displacement in Canada, prepared for Mila. The framework sets out the measurement infrastructure and four data pillars Canada needs to detect displacement before it reaches aggregate statistics. Full executive summary at aiearlywarning.ca.
  • GovAI Summer Fellowship. Starting June 2026 in London. Continuing research on AI's impact on labour markets and governance institutions.
  • The Rod Pod. A podcast about AI policy, the people it affects, and the questions worth asking.
