For over two decades, I've been driven by one guiding question:
"How can we help communities navigate change?"
​
Today, that question drives my work with K-12
and higher education leaders who are
thoughtfully approaching generative AI
adoption.
​
I have deep empathy for leadership teams
that are feeling the tension between AI's
genuine potential and the practical realities of
serving your communities well. Your teams
have different comfort levels with technology,
parents have questions about privacy and
ethics, you are being inundated with solutions
and tools with very little evidence of impact,
and you are balancing the pressure to move forward with your responsibility to get this right.
​
Over the past three years, I have walked alongside schools and districts of all sizes as they moved from early AI exploration to the nuances and complexities of change implementation. I have helped leadership teams develop ethical frameworks that ground their decision making in the values of their community, worked with school principals to leverage generative AI to maximize their impact as instructional leaders, and worked on a team to develop generative AI course content on rethinking assessment, policy development, and adoption strategy, which has been taken to date by over 650 educators in 30 countries around the world.
​
I work with educational leaders in four key areas:
-
Literacy: Developing practical AI literacy that meets people exactly where they are
-
Governance: Creating governance frameworks, policies, and processes to support the human oversight and calibration required to build community trust
-
Implementation: Bridging the gaps between AI vision and everyday decision-making
-
Change Leadership: Strengthening leadership approaches that bring people together, rather than leaving them behind.
My foundation includes more than twenty years in education, having served as a classroom teacher, school administrator, change leadership coach, and consultant. I am a certified AI Governance Officer and an affiliate partner of Kompass Education.
I believe deeply in partnership and stand ready to work with you to build your team's capacity to navigate AI-related change with clarity, confidence, and care.
