I'm a high school principal in Silicon Valley, author of Ready to Lead with AI, and a practitioner advisor to Common Sense Media and the EngageAI Institute. Since participating in the White House launch of "Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Teaching and Learning" in 2023, I've brought a practitioner perspective to every conversation that I was a part of and every stage I've stood on. School leaders deserve guidance from someone who is doing the work, not just studying it. Together, we can serve our students much better. I would love to work with you!

Who I Work With
Built for the People Leading the Change
District + School Leaders
You're fielding questions about AI policy, parent concerns, and teacher readiness all at once. I help you build a clear, human-centered strategy.
Conference Organizers
You want a keynote speaker who brings real stories from real schools. While I believe in the impact of useful frameworks, I am focused on practical implementation, and that's what I deliver.
Professional Learning Teams
You need hands-on workshops that leave educators with tools they can use on Monday morning, not a binder they'll never open.
