Practical AI and smarter ways of working for the way we actually work today,
without the plain old stuffy professional development.
Think of me as your built-in Work Bestie who helps turn “we should really do something about that” into something that actually gets done. Through workshops, cohorts, and custom programs, I make AI practical for the workplace — from helping business owners find smarter ways to work to preparing students and professionals use AI to strengthen their skills, everyday work, and career readiness.
I’m here to make the way you work, work better.
MEET YOUR WORK + AI PROBLEM SOLVER
Hi, I’m Steffani — your built-in Work Bestie for making work work better.
You know the BFF who shows up with takeout, asks the right questions, and somehow helps you figure out what to do next? That’s the energy I bring to work — backed by 17+ years in HR, more than a decade inside a workplace technology company, and a very hands-on relationship with AI.
I help individuals and business owners figure out how AI can make everyday work easier — from the tasks eating up your time to the processes, workflows, and routines that could simply work better. I also partner with organizations to bring practical AI learning to the people and communities they serve.
I’m not here to build software or take over your systems. I’m here to help you look at how you actually work, spot where AI can be useful, translate the complicated stuff, and turn “we should really do something about that” into something that actually gets done.
(“yes, that’s a thing?!”)
You need practical learning built around how your people actually work. Where can AI genuinely save time, simplify everyday work, or make a frustrating process easier? What should stay human? And how do you help people actually use what they learn once the training is over?
Your team needs more than a webinar and a “be careful with AI” memo.
I KNOW — I’VE SAT ON YOUR SIDE OF THE TABLE.
I spent 17+ years in HR, including more than a decade inside a workplace technology company. I know the difference between training that sounds good in theory and learning people actually use on Monday morning.
That’s why I bring practical AI together with a real-world understanding of how people, processes, and organizations work — so your people leave knowing how to actually put what they learned into practice.
what you can expect from your WORK BESTIE
Practical AI That Actually Helps
No AI for AI’s sake. We find where it can actually save you time, simplify what you’re already doing, or help with something you couldn’t quite do before — then make it practical enough to actually use.
A How-Work-Gets-Done Lens
I don’t look at AI in a vacuum. I look at the people, processes, workflows, and everyday realities around the work — so we can figure out where AI can help, where it can’t, and where human judgment still matters.
Real Work, Real Use Cases
We start with what’s actually happening in your day-to-day — the repetitive task, clunky process, blank page, overflowing inbox, or “there has to be an easier way to do this” moment — and go from there.
Custom, Not Canned
No one-size-fits-all advice or plain old stuffy professional development here. Whether it’s just you or a whole room, we start with what you’re trying to accomplish and build from there.
The work bestie Difference
And the intangible things I bring to the meeting?
17+ years in HR. SPHR and SHRM-SCP certifications (translation: seriously legit HR professional). More than a decade inside workplace tech. A CEO Award, Client Success Award, and HR Award. Board of Directors experience. A seat on Google’s Small Business Advisory Board, where I give feedback on AI tools and products. And enough real-world experience with work, people, processes, and change to know that what sounds good on paper doesn’t always work in real life.
Plus, a whole lot of empathy, energy, curiosity, honest feedback, and positivity — because expertise matters, but so does how it feels to work with someone.

The Work Bestie Approach: Practical Help for Real Work
Making complicated things feel doable — whether it’s AI, a people problem, or a workplace situation you’re not quite sure how to navigate
Starting with the problem, not the tool — sometimes AI can make work easier, faster, or fill a gap. Sometimes the answer is better communication, clearer expectations, or a different approach altogether.
Bringing AI and people know-how together — because knowing what a tool can do is only half the equation. How people actually work, lead, communicate, and adapt matters too.
Giving you something you can actually use — practical guidance, tools, prompts, frameworks, and next steps you can put to work when Monday morning rolls around.
Making it yours, not mine — no generic playbooks or one-size-fits-all advice. Everything starts with your goals, your reality, and what will actually work for you or your people.
Keeping the human in the loop — AI can help us do a lot, but judgment, relationships, context, and the decisions that matter still belong to people.
You don’t need to know everything — you just need to know what can help.
Whether you’re figuring out AI, navigating a people challenge, leading a team, or trying to do something you’ve never done before, I help you close the gap between “I have no idea how to do this” and “okay, I’ve got this.”
Work is changing fast, and nobody has time to become an expert in everything. That’s where your Work Bestie comes in.
