Being a high school Marketing teacher with a strong instructional design, communication, and leadership background, I have a practical and specialized view to offer towards prompt engineering—the art of crafting good questions and well-specified inputs to drive AI systems like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini towards the desired outcome. My teaching background and former football and basketball coaching have helped me cultivate the ability to break down complex concepts into usable, digestible steps—a skill that directly translates into writing prompt crafting that will deliver correct, effective, and contextually relevant AI output.
I have expertise in goal-focused prompt engineering for education, business communication, content writing, and creative problem-solving. Whether it's developing advertising copy, lesson planning, strategic thinking, student engagement materials, or campaign brainstorming, I understand how to craft AI prompts that minimize friction and maximize results. My own background as a teacher provides me with the capability to think like both the end-user and the student—reading intent, making up for tone, and taking into account limitations of various models.
As a coach, I developed systems, plays, and situational drills—each requiring clarity, timing, and contingency planning. This same strategic thinking serves me in my prompt engineering endeavors, where I anticipate and react to AI output, debug rounds, and refine wording to uncover richer reasoning or creativity. Success with coaching is also the outcome of an understanding of how to "ask the right questions."
I can help organizations and teams design repeatable prompt templates, train staff on effective use of prompts, and even develop AI-informed curriculum tools. Having great understanding of people and AI, I convert today's active development in generative technology into a human-driven, grounded approach.
