Story-driven sessions on AI adoption that holds up in real teams and regulated rooms. Built from what actually happened, told so your people can do it too.
Speaker · Educator · Builder of AI-ready teams
Design environments where people can do their best thinking, their best learning, and their best work.
I lead a global quality and training team, teach non-technical professionals to work with AI, and help leaders build teams that keep learning without them in the middle. The tools will change. The conditions are the work.

What I do
AI enablement for teams
I help leaders create the conditions for a team to learn AI on its own: a weekly rhythm, a first visible step, and the habit of checking the work. Capability travels. Tools don't.
Community education
Director of Education & Programs at Women Defining AI, where I design AI Foundations courses, study groups, and buildathons for people learning AI for the first time. Facilitator for Women Who Rule, a leadership community for MBA women at Gies College of Business.
