About Alice

I'm Not a Tech Person.
I'm a Business Person
Who Speaks AI.

Why Alice

The Translator Your Business Has Been Missing

I teach AI for small to medium sized businesses because having spent 15+ years in cross-functional roles — business analyst, project manager/product manager, operations manager and entrepreneur — I am most excited about how AI will revolutionize our work days.

This is the greatest promise of the AI revolution to me!

And we are finally in the phase where AI can do that — it can be our personal assistant or analyst — thanks to Claude. We can finally focus on our zone of genius: be it scaling our business or getting some much needed quality time.

I come from the business side. When I learned AI, I learned it the same way your team will — by applying it to those daily "pain in the ass" tasks.

That's what makes my approach different. I don't talk about AI in the abstract. I talk about it in terms of your specific use case, team, workflows, and risks. During my workshops, you and your team walk away with automated workflows — already saving 2+ hours a week each.

What I Believe

My Approach to AI Education

Three principles that shape every workshop, diagnostic, and conversation I have with business leaders.

01
The barrier is fear, not technology
Most businesses aren't held back by a lack of tools — they're held back by not knowing where to start safely. Clarity comes before adoption.
02
Practical over theoretical, always
AI education that doesn't end in tangible next steps isn't education — it's entertainment. Every session I deliver is built for immediate application.
03
Adopt an AI-First Mindset
For every task, start by asking: "Can AI help with this?" Building an AI-First mindset means leveraging technology at the start of a process — not as an afterthought. That shift changes everything.

Experience

15+ Years at the Intersection of Business & Growth

Before AI, I spent over a decade driving business transformation across industries — which is exactly why I know what it takes to get real people to actually change how they work.

Trusted by Business Leaders

I've spent more than 15 years helping organizations adopt technology and analytics that improve decision-making and operational performance.

Today, I help organizations translate the complexity of AI into practical tools their teams can use safely and productively.

Who I Work With

Three types of people who find their way here

Solo service providers & creatives

Coaches, designers, consultants, copywriters, and therapists drowning in email threads, invoices, and follow-ups instead of doing the work they love.

"If I could just clone myself..."

Solopreneurs & founders hitting a ceiling

You have revenue, clients, momentum. But there are only so many hours in a day. Hiring feels premature. The answer is leverage through smart AI workflow design.

"Grow like you hired a team — without payroll."

Business leaders & managers

Your team is already experimenting with AI informally. You need clear policies, practical training, and a roadmap for safe, productive AI adoption.

"From AI anxiety to AI confidence — without the jargon."
