About Me

For more than a decade, I’ve built organizations from the ground up and guided teams through the kinds of shifts that rewrite how work gets done. What I’ve learned is that transformation rarely fails on its own terms. What breaks is the connection between understanding, skill, and belief.

When someone grasps why change is happening, has the capability to work within it, and genuinely believes it’s worth doing — they shift. When even one of those three is missing, they struggle.

That’s what I’m researching as a Doctor of Technology candidate at Purdue University. My focus isn’t on the technology itself. It’s on understanding how organizations can implement AI without breaking the social contract with their workforce. That contract is simple: when organizations invest in their people, they’re communicating that those people are valued, capable, and integral to what comes next. I’m researching whether that investment shapes how employees experience AI as a threat, or as a genuine partner in their work.
