Rapid Fire
What did you do prior to joining NEIA that has nothing to do with education?
I taught students to horse back ride.
What do students teach you?
Students teach me to be curious, think deeper about the issues that they face, and most importantly help me put myself in another persons shoes!
What’s one task you wish AI could do for you today, and one you hope it never takes?
I wish AI could help me sort through all the different tasks in my brain after a busy day, and create a plan of attack for me for where to start the next day all faster and with minimal effort on my part of course! I hope AI never takes away the need for human connection in education and the world!
