Meeting other Latinas in tech was a great way to top off my weekend! Thank you to @latinastech_sv for hosting cafecito in San Jose.

Stay tuned for a professional update from me next month!

I attended the @latinas_tech Annual Summit for the first time this year. Check out my article via @LinkedIn for my takeaways, including a simple but often overlooked insight on #AI.

Liked what you read? I'd love to connect to hear about your experience using #genAI and #AI in #K12, #highereducation, and beyond! /end

👉🏽New post! Here are 3 things I've learned working in #edtech that schools & colleges can consider.

1. Ask “why are we using AI?”
2. Go back to basics
3. Soft skills will be critically important

I did a lot of work on #predictiveanalytics use in higher ed at @NewAmericaEd. It's a great tool for institutions AND its time to go beyond it. Today's tools can help educators identify what to do about a student's predicted outcome. Check out my blog!

Addressing "the basics that make the biggest impact in the long term" when it comes to enrollment challenges.

Insight into student mindsets & behaviors can help identify how to address the basics to enroll more students. #emchat
