Communication Policy Department, where she was a member of the Net Freedom Task Force and

worked on initiatives in cloud computing, internet policy, and an economic impact of internet

censorship. She later held leadership positions in operations and marketing for several

organizations before founding HIP camp in 2013. In addition to founding HIPCamp in 2013.
