What You Want to Build Here
I want to contribute to AI literacy programs that actually reach people — especially in institutional, education, and workforce contexts where AI adoption is slow not because people aren't capable, but because no one has built the on-ramp yet. I also want to be in rooms where AI-native products are being built from the ground up.
Superpower
Turning organizational complexity into tools people actually use — then teaching others how to do the same.
