I started as a software engineer. I loved the work, the logic, the building, the problem solving. But I kept finding myself torn between the people around the technology and the technology itself. I was driven by how people learned. Where did they get stuck? What made something finally click? That tension is what eventually pulled me toward developer relations and engineering enablement.
AI is the natural next step in that journey. Not because everyone is talking about it, but because the technology gap is now wider than ever... and it's affecting everyone. Every person. Every team. No exceptions. I've spent my whole life learning, creating, and relentlessly solving any problem thrown at me. Filling the learning gaps in the age of AI feels like what I was always meant to do. And after seeing real results take hold quickly across multiple organizations, I knew I needed to do it at a wider scale.
A company's most important investment is its people. Not its tools. Not its technology. Not its AI strategy. Those things matter — but they don't work without the people behind them. Every piece of technology a company buys is only as valuable as the team using it. Which means every time an organization invests in tools without investing in training, they're leaving return on the table. That's not a technology problem. It's a people problem.
I also believe people are capable (genuinely, deeply capable) and that most of the time when someone struggles with new technology it isn't because they can't do it. It's because nobody took the time to actually teach them. Not just show them. Teach them. There's a difference, and it's the difference between adoption that sticks and adoption that quietly dies three weeks after the all-hands.
Training should be engaging enough that people lean in, rigorous enough that something actually changes, and practical enough that people leave knowing exactly what to do on Monday morning. That's the standard I hold myself to every time.
My standards are built on a foundation I've spent a long time developing.
I hold a Computer Science degree from Georgia Tech and have spent the last decade designing and leading AI and technical training programs at organizations including Airbnb, Duck Creek, and UKG. My approach is shaped by formal training in coaching, communication, and psychology, because understanding how people learn is just as important as understanding what you're teaching.
I bring a rare combination to every engagement: the technical depth to go as far as the room can go. And the facilitation instincts to make sure no one gets left behind.
I live in Atlanta, Georgia with my husband and two kids. Outside of work you'll find me doing jiu jitsu, baking something I'll claim was easy, knee-deep in a DIY home project, or drinking an unreasonable amount of coffee on my back porch. Good food and good drinks are non-negotiable.
