Meet the Educator Behind Your Practical AI Training
Hi, I’m Sylvia
With over a decade in educational technology, I’ve refined a teaching philosophy that helps adults feel confident using new tools, grounded in proven adult learning principles (Merrill, Gagné, Knowles) and hands‑on, real‑world applications. I bring a unique blend of artistry, education, and technical expertise to the digital learning space. With a Master of Education degree, Fine Arts degree, a Graphic Design diploma, and certifications in Generative AI, I seamlessly combine creative vision with educational excellence so your AI learning feels clear, visual, and approachable.
“AI shouldn’t feel intimidating – it should feel empowering and even a little fun“
Blending Adult Education, Generative AI, and Workspace Wellness to Make AI Feel Clear, Calm, and Doable
That’s the heart of my work: practical AI training plus workspace wellness for small businesses, entrepreneurs, and professionals who want results without the overwhelm.
I work one-on-one or with small groups to teach tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity through hands-on practice, not dry slide decks.
What Makes Me Different: I combine AI training with workspace wellness because poor ergonomics quietly kills productivity and learning. Your physical setup matters as much as your software setup, so I improve both.
