I help teams start using AI.
Former teacher turned tech leader. I’ve designed AI/ML learning programs at Google reaching 1M+ learners, led infrastructure teams at Starbucks, and spoken at the U.S.-ASEAN Dialogue on AI and the future of talent. Now I help organizations make AI adoption human-centered and real.
From the classroom to Google Cloud to your team.
I started my career in the classroom — as an elementary school teacher. That foundation in how people actually learn has shaped everything I’ve done since: from architecting Google Cloud’s ML Engineer and Data Analytics learning programs for over a million learners, to leading multidisciplinary infrastructure teams at Starbucks, to directing Learning & Development at Cornerstone.
Over 15 years, I’ve specialized in designing AI/ML learning experiences, running research on how people adopt new tools, and building experimental methodologies that enhance human agency through AI — not replace it. I’ve conducted beta programs with 2000% participation increases, A/B user testing at scale, and created frameworks like the GenAI-powered “Unleash Team Potential” learning needs assessment.
The through-line? Technology adoption is a learning problem. And I know how to solve learning problems.
SprintKit AI is the company I co-founded to bring these methodologies to everyone. Our affordable sprint kits, courses, and training programs make AI adoption accessible — no expensive consultants required. Learn more →

AI in the classroom: threat, tool, or teaching moment?

What I’m thinking about
92% of companies plan to invest in AI. Only 13% have scaled it. Here’s why.
The gap between AI investment and AI impact is growing. After 15 years designing learning programs at Google, Starbucks, and Cornerstone, I’ve seen the pattern — and the fix.
