Educator · Founder · AI Strategist

Your experience still has value. Your next chapter can be built around it.

Three Columbia degrees, 23 years of professional experience, and one question I keep coming back to: how do we help people turn what they already know into income, ownership, and impact?

What I believe

A career’s worth of knowledge should not disappear when you change direction.

I spent most of my career helping people understand complex systems and find their place in them. In public health, that meant connecting communities with research, education, and a real chance to take part.

Today I do the same thing for experienced professionals. You already have the expertise. I help you see its value, shape it into an offer, and use AI to build a business around it, on your terms and with your privacy intact.

Success is more than income or titles. Family, faith, presence, and the legacy we leave matter just as much, and I bring those values into everything I build.

Research & public health

Where I learned that information alone is never enough.

My public-health work centered on tuberculosis and TB/HIV co-infection research and community engagement, including work with the NIH AIDS Clinical Trials Group (ACTG) and the CDC TB Trials Consortium. People need context, trust, and a realistic path to action. I teach AI the same way.
