I help organizations make human-centered and ethical AI adoption decisions, build AI literacy programs, and support workers as they adapt to AI-driven change. I also help organizations reach their goals in ways that consider not just the bottom line, but the full network of people affected by AI adoption across their ecosystem, so they can strengthen technical, social, and identity goals together.
This work is designed for leaders and teams that want to adopt AI thoughtfully rather than reactively. It combines AI literacy, responsible adoption, and practical workforce support so organizations can move forward without triggering unnecessary fear or confusion.
A core part of the work is helping employees and managers move from AI anxiety to practical confidence. Research and professional guidance on AI change management consistently point to empathy, transparency, worker voice, and upskilling as essential for successful adoption.
Executive briefings
Focused sessions for leadership teams, boards, and decision-makers who need a clear view of what AI can and cannot do, where risks and opportunities lie, and what choices make sense now. These briefings are especially useful before launching pilots, policies, or broader AI initiatives.
Workshops
Interactive sessions for teams, departments, and cross-functional groups that build AI literacy, explore real use cases, and create practical norms for responsible AI use. Workshops can also address workforce concerns directly by helping participants understand what AI is likely to reshape, what human strengths remain valuable, and how to stand out in an AI-affected field.
Advisory retainers
Ongoing support for organizations that want a trusted outside advisor for AI literacy, policy review, governance questions, use-case evaluation, and workforce communication. This format works well for teams that are actively experimenting with AI and want periodic strategic guidance over time.
A distinctive part of this work is helping organizations navigate AI adoption in ways that are practical, human-centered, and ethically grounded. That includes building AI literacy, supporting leaders and teams as they move from interest to implementation, and helping people understand how AI changes workflows, roles, and expectations. This approach is especially valuable for organizations that want AI adoption to succeed across their broader ecosystem, not just in narrow productivity or bottom-line terms. It takes into account the full network of people affected by adoption — employees, teams, clients, students, partners, and communities — so the process is more thoughtful, more sustainable, and more likely to build trust.
The goal is not simply to use AI, but to help organizations adopt it in ways that support their mission, strengthen their people, and create lasting value.

After more than a decade of AI and creativity research, alongside computer science education research through EarSketch (a popular culturally-informed CS education platform for high schoolers that I co-founded), I co-authored the 2020 Long & Magerko AI literacy framework, a foundational and widely cited model that has informed AI literacy efforts across education, workforce, and policy settings, including UNESCO, the U.S. Department of Labor, and university teaching and library programs. My consulting practice brings together expertise in AI literacy, human-computer interaction, and human-centered technology to help organizations make stronger decisions, align internal understanding, and move forward with AI in a practical, confident way.
