The Mission
You don't want to wait another year to "start with AI." You want to use AI now — to work faster, think clearer, and build real things instead of just consuming content. In this 6-week sprint, you integrate AI into your daily workflow, understand how it actually works, and use the most powerful tools with confidence. You will prototype ideas quickly and build your own personal website using free tools, without programming knowledge. We focus on execution over perfection, progress over overwhelm — so you leave not inspired, but able to apply AI immediately.

Why Learn With Me?
I don't just explain AI; I help you succeed in the AI age. Whether it's prototyping, strategy, or coding, I show you how to use AI to achieve more with confidence and clarity. I will guide you in building a "Learning Loop"—a practical approach to breaking complex technology into manageable, repeatable bites—so you can continuously adapt, grow, and master the most important skill of the AI age: the ability of learning.
From a full-time stay-at-home mom to data leader, my journey has been defined by one thing: the power of habit and curiosity. Along the way, I built a strong technical foundation that grounds everything I teach today. I bring both deep technical expertise and real-world perspective to learning AI. My background is in Data Science, with hands-on industry experience in machine learning and deep learning. I began my career in research, working on Natural Language Processing (NLP)—long before AI became a buzzword—and have since applied these technologies across production systems, leadership roles, and data-driven strategy.
