My journey to AI education began long before I discovered artificial intelligence. I was born into a family where education and creativity were equally valued — my father was a librarian and scholar, while my mother was a master seamstress and business owner.
From my father, I inherited a love for information and learning. From my mother, I learned creativity and the art of transformation. I am the intersection of their worlds: technical understanding and creative expression.
My path has been anything but linear. Healthcare, food service, emergency billing, higher education, corporate environments. I've been a teaching assistant, mentor, jewelry maker, and student of both humanities and technology. Each role taught me about systems — how they work, how they fail, and how to navigate them.
When I finally embraced technology, it was like coming home. This website is proof of what's possible — built with AI assistance, featuring three custom plugins I created, integrated article generation, newsletter systems, and booking functionality. Nearly corporate-grade, built by someone who struggled with traditional educational structures.
If I can do it, you can too. The key is learning to think with AI, not just use it.
