Rebecca lives in the messy space between AI hype and AI reality, helping education leaders cut through the chaos and noise to find what actually works for students and educators. With 7 years in district administration and AI ethics research focused on K-12 implementation, she's dangerously good at AI but appropriately worried about its risks.
