The human side of AI in the workplace
I help people and organizations work well with AI.
HRD researcher and builder. I study how AI adoption reshapes work and stress, and I build the tools and frameworks that make the shift humane.
I'm Anishinaabe, a Red Lake Nation descendant, and I came to AI through people: who it helps, who it leaves out, and how organizations bring their communities along as work changes.

Recommendation
What it's like to work with me.
He's proactive, reliable, and easy to work with, someone who notices what needs attention and takes initiative without needing much direction. One of the most valuable contributions he made was developing a set of AI guidelines for staff and future student office assistants, creating clarity around how we approach and use these tools in our work.
I'd confidently recommend him for roles where clarity, ownership, and follow-through matter. He'll bring structure and make processes better wherever he lands.
