My mission is to educate, engage and empower children and adults, communities and organizations, by helping them become emotionally smart and digitally well. I am currently the Director of Community Engagement at Linewize by Family Zone, where I oversee our parent education programs in the US and abroad. Prior to joining Linewize, I coached and consulted with a diverse group of international clients, ranging from parent groups and small non-profits, all the way to bigger brands and organizations. I also frequently spoke at conferences, on expert panels and webinars, as well as podcasts and documentaries, and have been cited in numerous publications such as NBC News and Huffington Post. On a personal note, I belong to the tribe of Third Culture Kids, and have lived in 9 countries spanning 3 continents, so far.

September is ***dePreventionMonth in the United States, and this important topic will receive global attention on September 10th - ***dePreventionDay.

Raising awareness about the struggle of those who have lost all hope in life is deeply personal to me - and I'm sure it is for many of you as well.

For the second year in a row, I am participating in the community walk on O'ahu and raising money for the American Foundation for Su***de Prevention - please click on the link below to support this important work and help me *surpass* my funding goal.

Thank you💚

Stories - and fears - about children and suddenly seem to be everywhere, making it seem as though kids just picked this new habit up yesterday.

But they didn't.

I've been tracking this trend since early 2024, when publications like The Verge and the BBC first started writing about platforms like Character.ai, and the "friends" and "therapists" teens were starting to form bonds with in these virtual spaces.

Through my own work on , I have witnessed firsthand how this last year ushered in a new concern for districts: students using companion bots to engage in sexually explicit conversations.

So now we're in a spot where young people have already been using these technologies for a good amount of time, and the questions we urgently need answers to are:

• How exactly are K12 students using these tools?
• What deeper needs do these bots fulfill?
• How do we provide guidance and support to youth and their families to ensure safe and beneficial use?

These are the questions I'll be addressing in my 2026 presentation, if you help me make it to Austin next year!

My session is titled:
"The New Imaginary Friend: Children and their AI Companions"

Please take a minute - it will literally take you that long - to cast your vote and help me bring these important insights to thousands of educators from the United States and around the world.

Thank you!🤠
