I'm a researcher, tinkerer, and writer working in the field of model behavior––a nascent discipline concerned with predicting, shaping, and designing the behavior of AI systems. I'm particularly interested in reasoning, working memory, and model epistemics.

Currently, I'm working on behaviors at Dartmouth and SpaceXAI. Previously, I tutored human beings with The Chernik Group and large language models with OpenAI after spending five years working on the roles of meaning, purpose, and spirituality in the workplace at Harvard Business School. I began my career in Professor Clay Christensen's Forum for Growth & Innovation.

I hold an MDiv from Harvard Divinity School and a BA from Middlebury College.
