Bio

I've spent 15+ years working in animal advocacy (including 5 years as the Australia & New Zealand Outreach Manager for Vegan Outreach and 2 years running a vegan digital marketing agency) and am now working at the intersection of AI safety and animal advocacy, where I strive to address the urgent and under-addressed challenge of speciesism in AI.

By combining my expertise in digital marketing, animal advocacy and artificial intelligence, I developed VEG3, the world's first AI assistant dedicated to helping both individuals and organisations be more effective in advocating for animals and navigating a vegan lifestyle.

I'm currently in the process of launching Open Paws, a nonprofit organisation dedicated to training and deploying animal-aligned AI systems, empowering animal-friendly organizations to integrate AI into their operations, and advocating for the widespread adoption of animal-alignment in all AI systems.

Through this work, we hope to create a future where artificial intelligence respects and protects all sentient life, simultaneously safeguarding animal welfare whilst reducing existential risks to humanity.
