Worried Your Child Is Falling Behind in the Age of AI?
Schools are scrambling to catch up. Most don’t have clear AI policies, and few are teaching students how to use these tools well. That leaves both parents and students anxious.
That’s where I come in
I bring 20 years of experience in higher education, having taught incoming students, guided undecided majors, and supported thousands across education, arts and sciences, psychology, and aviation.
And I know AI
I use it daily, keep up with evolving institutional policies, and design custom GPTs to help students explore majors, careers, and everyday academic needs.
Pew Research Center
- Recent Pew data shows the number of U.S. teens using ChatGPT for schoolwork has doubled in recent years, showing how quickly AI tools are entering everyday academic life.
. - At the same time, many students say their schools have NOT clearly explained how these tools should be used.
Job Market Data
- According to McKinsey, an analysis of millions of job listings shows demand for AI fluency has grown sevenfold in two years, becoming one of the fastest-growing skills employers are seeking.
- LinkedIn research suggests 70% of the skills used in most jobs will change by 2030, with AI playing a major role in that transformation.
Brookings Institution
- Students are stepping into a world where digital tools can draft reports, analyze data, and generate ideas in seconds. The real skill is learning how to question those outputs, create workflows, and understand the technology.
. - The Brookings Institute studies trends in education and the workforce so their research offers an early look at what employers are starting to expect from the next generation of workers
- Recent Pew data shows the number of U.S. teens using ChatGPT for schoolwork has doubled in recent years, showing how quickly AI tools are entering everyday academic life.
The Result ⤵️
Your son or daughter learns how to use AI ethically, effectively, and in line with their school’s policies and expectations.
Testimonials 📢
“This was better than what my daughter did at school through Blueprint. It took her personality into account and gave much more specific job options and descriptions.”
— Dinah, Parent of a High School Senior
“It gave much clearer descriptions of what you would actually do in the jobs, which helped me picture different career options.”
l — High School Senior
“We found this very helpful, and it confirmed a lot of what we were already thinking. It would have been even more helpful if we had done it earlier before spending so much time researching on our own.”
— Parent of High School Student

Where Support Becomes Strategy
My Philosophy
My approach is built on a simple principle: providing high-value, actionable guidance that addresses real-world challenges.
1. Clear and Practical
Students and families are overwhelmed by information about AI. I focus on clear, practical strategies that students can actually use in school, research, and everyday learning.
2. Strategic
AI is changing how students learn, research, and write. I provide guidance that helps students think strategically about these tools so they use them thoughtfully rather than depend on them blindly.
3. Future-Focused
My work is designed to prepare students for the world they are entering. The goal is not just using AI today, but understanding how these tools shape education, careers, and decision-making going forward.
What Makes This Program Different
8
Flexible support for students and families
Some students prefer to work through the material independently at their own pace. Others benefit from a one-on-one session where they can ask questions and talk through ideas.
Parents can also schedule their own meeting if they want to discuss how college expectations are changing, how AI tools are starting to affect academic work, and what skills students actually need to succeed once they get there. After nearly two decades working inside higher education, I’ve seen what happens after students arrive on campus.
That experience allows me to share the patterns, expectations, and common mistakes that students rarely hear about while they are still in high school.
