I’m a Journalist and Product Manager in New York.

As a media and tech professional, I have 10 years of experience across editorial and product roles for newsrooms, Fortune 500s, and startups.

I also write about ethics in emerging technology, and am an advocate for women in futurism.

NBC

2018 – 2021

As a Product Manager for NBC Owned Television Stations, I worked with designers, engineers, and editorial and business stakeholders to ship web products for 35 NBC/Telemundo local news websites and their platforms. During my time there, I helped lead an overhaul redesign and CMS migration, where I focused on off-platform and distribution tools. I also helmed the design, launch, and site maintenance for a new livestream- and video-focused media brand called LX. My purview spanned editorial/ad creative tools, newsletters, voice/audio products, frontend reader experiences, backend CMS logic, and more.

 

HuffPost

2012 – 2014

I served in a series of editorial roles on the vertical side, as well as on the social media/community teams. Over the course of my tenure I helped launch the Science vertical, wrote and edited a wide range of content, managed HuffPost's primary social accounts with a combined 10M+ audience, contributed to developing social strategy for 30+ verticals, and led social 101 and 202 trainings. I also founded and directed HuffPost's Girls In STEM Mentorship Program that matched over 500 girls with mentors in STEM fields.

 

SONR News

2015-2017

Sonr News is a media-tech startup whose primary offering is a dashboard tool for social media search, monitoring, and trend analysis. Using natural language processing (NLP) and other AI, we surfaced breaking news and trends for journalists and content creators. I joined the team early as a Product Manager but wore many hats to help bring a brand new product from research & conception to market. Acquired by Audioboom (2017).
