About Me

MEET BETTE
My passion for helping students succeed began over 20 years ago in higher education. With a PhD in Educational Leadership and a Master's in Counseling, I spent 15 years working directly with college students on major decisions, career planning, and preparing for their futures.
I loved the work. The institutional constraints? Not so much.
Three and a half years ago, I left to do this work differently. Since then, I've written over 450 articles about education, leadership, and strategic thinking across Medium and Substack, with 40 featured by Medium and a leadership publication that's grown to over 13,000 followers.
Now I'm bringing all of that together in The Socratic AI Method, a comprehensive AI literacy program that teaches students how to think critically with AI, use it ethically, and maintain their own voice.
My mission is to bridge the gap between rapidly advancing technology and the real needs of students and families. I combine my academic training with hands-on expertise in AI to provide strategic guidance that prepares students for the future, not just with tools, but with judgment.

WHAT I BRING
I help students use AI in ways that actually make life easier and build critical thinking skills they'll use for years. My background in psychology, counseling, educational leadership, and communication helps me explain complex concepts clearly and practically.
I don't just teach prompts or tips. I teach students how to think through what they need, how AI can support them, and how to maintain their own voice and judgment in the process. Whether it's studying more effectively, writing with integrity, or making better decisions about majors and careers, I provide grounded strategies that make sense.
If you're a student learning to use AI responsibly, or a parent looking for guidance you can trust, that's what I do.
HOW I HELP
I work alongside students to get real results with AI, not just theory. Through The Socratic AI Method program, students get a complete curriculum on AI literacy, critical thinking, ethics, and practical application.
For those who want additional support, I offer 1:1 consultations tailored to individual needs, whether that's understanding school policies, exploring majors and careers, or working through specific challenges.
I focus on building skills students will use throughout college and beyond. The program teaches them how to think with AI, not just use it. And for families who want deeper guidance, I provide personalized support that makes AI feel manageable, not overwhelming.
