I am driven by a deep passion and need to make a difference and leave this world a little better than when I arrived. That's what keeps me going.

About
Thanks for your interest.
As an international policy scholar, I am deeply engrossed in the intricate relationship between technology and education. Before transitioning into academia, I amassed 13 years of hands-on experience in the private education sector. During this period, I founded and helmed an education company for 9 years. Simultaneously, for 4 of those years, I led an education technology company. I've also actively invested in two AI education startups, taking on the role of an angel investor for 3 years.
My research interest centers on the potential transformation of state educational outcomes through digital literacy or AI literacy, specially, focusing on the provision of new tools to educators, the methodologies for training teachers, and the strategies to facilitate teachers' professional advancement or role transition. This interest encompasses the broader implications for scientific and global economic development. Consequently, my ongoing research rigorously examines the impact of AI in education, including its global and regional integration variations, the policies that shape this integration, and the differing educational outcomes that emerge.
