Studying the variability of the human mind
I explore how different minds engage, what motivates them, and how systems shape cognition — using AI and computational methods to understand human behavior across its full range.

My daughter was diagnosed with severe autism. Doctors said her mind would never develop full communication or autonomy. Today she’s studying engineering in college. I became a mother, a scholar, and a scientist - and it proved that the mind was never the problem.

01
The Science
I study how minds actually work — the full range of how people learn, engage, and make meaning. My research uses AI and computational methods to reveal what's possible when systems are designed for cognitive variability.
02
The Strategy
I sit with organizations and help them see opportunity they've been missing — where their language can connect deeper, where their design can reach further, and where the real growth is. I make the complex feel human. That's why people bring me in.
03
The Stage
United Nations. White House. Harvard. I walk into rooms where decisions are made and I expand how people think. With truth, with data, and with a freedom that makes people lean in.
I built an AI platform that 4,200 families trust with their children's education.
Expert IEP translates complex special education documents into language families actually understand — and optimizes goals using the same research I do at UC Davis. It's born from my dissertation, backed by $1.26M in funding, and it's proof that designing for cognitive variability works at scale.
