Also super excited to share that I'm teaming up with University of California, Berkeley's Peter Bittner to co-lead the "AI Fundamentals for Professional Communicators & Marketers" course. This 6-week professional certification program is a great step towards mastering AI in the digital communication realm.

What's in store for you?

• Hands-On AI Tools: Explore AI tools hands-on for text, visuals, and streamline your workflows.

• Ethical AI Navigation: Tread the intricate ethical and legal landscapes of AI in media.

Over six weeks, we'll take work together exploring the role and applications of AI within communications and media. As your TA, I'll draw on my experience in generative AI to guide you through hands-on projects, tools, and the ethical considerations of working with advanced tech.

Peter and I have designed this course specifically for people looking to incorporate advanced tech into their storytelling and workflows. By the end, you'll emerge with real-world skills, confidence in applying AI responsibly, and connections through our alumni network.
