Insights at the
edge of AI and learning

Frameworks, tools, and thinking for professionals navigating the intersection of artificial intelligence, education, and organisational practice.

Real human-AI collaboration isn't a feature. It's a discipline. It demands that humans develop the mindset to engage with AI meaningfully, and that AI develops how it responds to the individual human. We are nowhere near either yet.

About

Practitioner, educator, strategist

With a combination of experiences gained from the manufacturing industry, the education sector, and the Army Reserve, I bring a unique perspective into the training environment. I am currently Head of Insights for a training organisation operating in the Defence sector, where I focus on educational insight, pedagogical development, and the application of Generative AI.

My work sits at the intersection of how people learn, how organisations develop capability, and how AI — used well — can extend the reach and quality of both, through translating emerging capability into grounded, responsible practice.

My background spans frontline adult education, senior leadership, qualification and assessment design, coaching, and mediation. Together, this gives me a wide frame of reference for the problems that sit underneath most L&D and AI challenges.
