Certifications & Professional Development My Story My journey has never fit into a single box. It has unfolded at the intersection of two worlds : business and caregiving, strategy and service, innovation and humanity. Long before AI ethics and executive consulting became central to my work, the realities of healthcare shaped me, supporting family members with disabilities and developing a deep understanding of what compassionate, consistent care truly demands. In many ways, caregiving was my first education in leadership. As I built my career in business, strategy, and technology, I never stepped away from healthcare; I carried it with me. I worked across both paths in tandem, designing strategic roadmaps and guiding organizations through digital transformation, while also managing complex care plans, advocating within healthcare systems, and completing advanced training through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and the American Caregivers Association. These parallel experiences formed a unique foundation: analytical enough to navigate corporate structures, and human-centered enough to understand the weight of real-world impact. While academia often rewards specialization, my life required integration. My roles as consultant, strategist, educator, and caregiver each informed the rest. Supporting individuals in vulnerable moments taught me that leadership is never abstract; it is personal, relational, and deeply grounded in empathy. Working in AI and organizational strategy reinforced that systems must be built ethically and with intention, because real people live with the consequences. Today, my work bridges both worlds. I help leaders adopt ethical AI, strengthen organizational culture, and innovate responsibly, guided by the same principles I learned through caregiving: protect dignity, promote clarity, build structures that support people, and ensure that progress never comes at the cost of humanity. Every chapter of my life has led me to one conviction: When technical innovation and human compassion move together, we build a future that truly serves people.
