Teaching and Training Interests:
My teaching centers on applied artificial intelligence (AI) literacy and responsible implementation to help learners move from AI awareness to confident, ethical practice. Primary areas include generative AI in business and higher education; prompt engineering and workflow design; AI governance, ethics, bias, privacy, and accessibility; organizational strategy and chance management; and practical AI use cases that improve operations, decision-making, and workforce outcomes.
Research/Practice Interests:
My scholarship and applied inquiry focus on how organizations build sustainable AI capability: governance models and guardrails; human-centered adoption and culture change; measurable impacts of AI-enabled workflows; AI’s role in accessibility and inclusive support; and translating fast-moving AI developments into practical, trustworthy institutional strategy.
Recent Publications/Scholarly & Professional Output (Selected):
Served as faculty for NASPA’s live five-week course Level Up – Actionable AI Strategies for Student Affairs, and delivered NASPA’s AI webinar Cut Through the Noise: A Practical AI Workshop for Immediate Impact.
Presented at major venues including EDUCAUSE (AI and accessibility services) and delivered keynotes for organizations spanning higher education and workforce development.
Featured perspectives on AI ethics in EdTech Magazine.
