Three classes of underrepresented students in computer science—the same organization that adopted Cybersecurity Demystified across 35 districts. The books were written for students like this; the classroom is what it looks like to follow that through.

• Taught computer science and STEM topics through National 4-H, helping broaden access to hands-on technology education
• Led and taught student AI projects on deforestation, geospatial analysis, and environmental applications
• Received the Robert Brownlee Science Award through the University of California 4-H Youth Development Program

• Founded Athenian's first centralized hub for student technology projects and responsible innovation across middle and upper school divisions
• Created a school-wide platform for students building across AI, cybersecurity, robotics, engineering, entrepreneurship, and design
• Showcases work from Engineering, Advanced Engineering, Advanced CS, and independent student projects—with ethics checkpoints on privacy, safety, misuse, and real-world impact
• Hosting speaker panels, hackathons, and student-led innovation showcases focused on responsible technology and ethical design
• Expanded the program to middle school, introducing ethical design thinking before students enter upper school engineering and computer science tracks

Peer instruction in the top CS course at school.

• 6,000+ students reached (SVEF, National 4-H GIS AI, private school pilots combined)
• 35 school districts using Tech Demystified books
• 3 SVEF Elevate CS classes taught (summer 2025)
• 75+ students per year at Knowledge House STEM Academy
• 2 private schools running active DeepTrust / AITruthCheck pilots
• 3 books published; 1,000+ products sold (Atremo / Hathor)
• Live public tool: AITruthCheck.app — research outside the PDF

DeepTrust began as peer-reviewed work on domain shift in deepfake detection, became patent-pending platform and a public tool, and is now in active educational pilots—the research drove the product; the product reaches the people the research was written for.

Facilitates whole-school community meetings: agenda design, inclusive discussion formats, and follow-through so student voice shapes school culture and decision-making.

Cultural programming including Diwali and Holi—identity, belonging, and inclusion across the school community.
