Facilitation
Programs and workshops I design, lead, or participate in.
My deepest work is facilitation: multi-session programs and hands-on labs where I shape the whole arc, from framing to harvest. Participants do the thinking, and I meet them where they are, and they leave with something they built.
Courageous Conversations Summer Intensive
Participant, 2026–27 faculty cohort
Five days in Washington, DC with faculty from campuses across the country, training in the Nine Skills for Courageous Conversations through multimedia case studies, live practice, and simulation. We worked the hardest material on offer, Israel and Palestine, in rooms at the Bloomberg Center, at the Supreme Court, and on the ground at Gettysburg. I came for the methodology and left with a set of moves for holding a room when people disagree in public and the stakes are real.

AI with Integrity: Designing Your Ethical AI Practice
Convener and facilitator
A panel and facilitated workshop I convened at the University of Denver, built around one guiding question: how do I stay in alignment with what I value as AI reshapes my work, my profession, and the choices in front of me? Three leaders opened the conversation. Jayme Eichner of AWS on who is thriving in the transition and who it is happening to. Melissa Reeve on the durable capabilities that outlast any AI model, drawing on the World Economic Forum's projection of 170 million new jobs and 92 million displaced. Trista Caldwell on staying in alignment with your values when the work itself is changing fast.

AI Ambassador Program at CU Boulder's Division of Continuing Education
Curriculum Strategist & Co-Facilitator
I was brought on to help design and lead a year-long faculty development program for instructors teaching asynchronous online courses at CU Boulder's Division of Continuing Education. The program was a companion to the main campus AI Literacy Ambassadors initiative, but it needed to be built from the ground up for a different reality: working adult learners, no classroom to reconvene in, and faculty whose disciplinary communities often sit elsewhere. The reflexive answers that had emerged on main campus (in-class writing, oral defenses, proctored assessments) weren't available to us. We had to help faculty design for something harder: students developing genuine agency and discernment with AI, on their own, in the quiet of asynchronous coursework.
