Beyond AI

When I'm not teaching AI or consulting, I'm a proud mom to my son, a Chemical Engineering student at Virginia Tech and graduate of St. Joe's Prep. I live in Philadelphia with my husband and our two adorable dachshunds, Lucy and Lola. In my free time, you'll find me enjoying time with friends and family, music, games of chance, cooking up new recipes, exploring new destinations, or indulging in some retail therapy.

I believe that learning should be enjoyable and applicable to real life—which is why my AI courses focus on practical skills you can use immediately. Whether you're looking to enhance your career prospects, improve your business operations, or simply satisfy your curiosity about AI, I'm here to guide you every step of the way.
