Carla Gonzalez

Carla Gonzalez is a technology professional with over a decade of experience in the industry. She earned her bachelor's degree in hospitality management from the University of the Philippines and began her career in digital marketing after college, spending nearly five years at a tech startup in Asia Pacific where she advanced to the role of regional manager in Singapore. In 2020, she relocated to the United States to pursue her long-held dream of working at Google, applying directly through the company website and securing a position through persistence despite lacking a traditional technology degree. Now in her second year in trust and safety at Google, Carla focuses on AI ethics and user safety, finding the work deeply fulfilling as it allows her to contribute to making a positive impact on billions of users worldwide. She also values the international exposure gained from her travels to 75 countries and her professional experiences across the Philippines, Singapore, and the U.S.
