Why Anthropic?I am deeply excited by the opportunity to contribute to Anthropic's ongoing mission. I've been following Anthropic's journey for a while now (most notably through your Research Series on YouTube) and it really ignited my curiosity in AI as it relates to interpretability.I caught up with some friends who currently work at Anthropic and they spoke wonders about the ongoing cutting edge work they're doing in the field. I've always gravitated towards community driven missions and teams - from Oscar winning social impact documentaries, to rebranding chess into a sport, to shaping US space & defense policy.Anthropic isn't only about being the world's top AI public-benefit startup. It is also about creating opportunities to learn about a subject for what many may consider to be daunting. I'm all about having those conversations and learning / building bridges between systems and communities.The same goes for outreach and programs. The first program I ever built from scratch was USC's virtual and augmented reality program. At the time XR was intimidating to many. From faculty, to industry sponsors, to students, I loved being the glue behind a community that would not exist otherwise. The program is now considered one of the best talent pools for recruiters in the nation and lives on its own: https://www.icxr.org/. I would love to bring that same sense of innovation and energy to Anthropic.As a creative, I am also fascinated by the radical transformation AI has already brought to various industries. Video, for instance, is all about prompting and communicating the end result in a way that is easily understood by the platform. Music, on the other hand, is more about experimenting and the creation of new melodies and ideas. The same goes for any AI platform. They all have their quirks and I would love to continue pursuing my deep interest in AI interpretability and community growth through this role at Anthropic.

What I'll Bring to Anthropic- 6+ years of experience building out community-driven programs and content
- An army of creatives innovating at the forefront of AI & art everyday
- Deep connections within the space & defense industry (if wanting to expand on ongoing work with Palantir and AWS)
- A balanced perspective that values thought and creation just as much as performance and data
