My Vision

Artificial intelligence is reshaping our world, offering unprecedented opportunities for innovation and efficiency. However, the true potential of AI lies not just in algorithms and data but in our ability to understand and harness these tools ethically and effectively. My mission is to empower educators, professionals, and organizations to not only understand AI but to skillfully integrate it into their practices and strategies.

 

My Methodology for High Impact Facilitation and Learning

At the heart of my methodology lies a deep commitment to collaboration and empathy. Understanding and anticipating the needs of my audience is foundational in every program or product I create. I adopt a 'lead from behind' approach, where the goal is to illuminate the hidden expertise within each participant, empowering them to contribute meaningfully to their own learning journey.

I initiate every session with strategically crafted guiding questions. These questions are designed not just to stimulate thinking but to set a cognitive roadmap for what lies ahead. This method ensures that as we progress through each section, participants are not merely passive recipients of information but active explorers of content.

My educational design philosophy is grounded in a principle of engagement: I present core concepts—constituting about 20% of our time together—thereby laying down the theoretical framework necessary for deeper exploration. The remaining 80% is devoted to facilitated yet self-driven exploration, where participants engage with peers and draw on their internal reservoirs of knowledge and experience. I create strategically timed shareouts to ensure peer-to-peer insights are captured. This structure not only fosters a dynamic learning environment but also ensures that learning is deeply internalized and personally relevant.

Precision is key in my design process, particularly in the flow and timing of each segment. This meticulous planning ensures that every minute is purposefully structured to maximize participant engagement and learning effectiveness.

I guide participants to commit to actionable steps to apply their learning, encouraging them to create tangible artifacts or processes that foster continuous growth and application of knowledge. This is achieved through what I call "action planning," a structured phase where participants outline specific, achievable steps to implement the insights and skills they have acquired. By doing so, they leave not just with new knowledge but with a clear path forward for real-world application.

Through this approach, I strive to create learning experiences that are not only informative but transformative, enabling participants to emerge not just with new knowledge but with a heightened ability to apply this knowledge creatively and effectively in their own contexts.

 

Women in AI Boulder: Demonstrating Leadership and Capacity for Synthesis and Action

As the Co-founder of Women in AI Boulder, a prominent subgroup of the Rocky Mountain AI Interest Group (RMAIIG), I am actualizing my passion and commitment to empowering women in the field of artificial intelligence.

We design this group to function as an incubator for ideas, fostering a collaborative and supportive environment where women can innovate, strategize, and take a leading role in shaping the future of AI. Our focus is not only on uplifting women to roles in AI, but also on creating strategic frameworks and working teams that can guide the ethical and inclusive growth of AI technologies.
