10 SEP 2024 · Heather is an AMAZING woman! I have had the privilege of knowing her for many years. She is an inspiration, and I am thrilled to have had her on my podcast. We had a blast! I have seen her growth over the years and she is so passionate about her work. You won't find anyone else who invests in their clients as much as Heather. About Heather After graduating from college in Pennsylvania, Heather pursued a fashion photography internship with a celebrity photographer in Los Angeles. She met celebrities and models from all over the world, but she felt she lacked fulfillment in her work. When Heather came back home to Pittsburgh, she decided to give everyday people like us the same celebrity photography experience. Helping clients find the light inside themselves that makes them feel photogenic is so rewarding. Heather has built her brand as a Couture Portrait Studio. She photographs exclusively indoors in her signature style. Heather provides such a phenomenal experience that clients fly to her from all over the United States. I trust her completely, and I am always thrilled with the whole experience Heather provides, her authenticity, and knowing how much she cares about her clients.

Also, Heather was a student of mine, and I saw her passion when she was in the 10th grade! So proud of her and her work. She cares deeply about her clients and provides an unbelievable experience unique to every client. I wouldn't recommend anyone else. Heather is amazing and just wait for the video!!

She offers AI-assisted personalized lesson plans (literature, enrichment, and activities) together with young adult work-readiness empowerment and tailored teacher PD on the Factors platform.

It's true that, along with tremendous opportunities, AI presents some challenges for the field of education.

- Discover strategies for engaging students more fully using AI
- Automate administrative tasks, grading and feedback, and assessments
- Use AI in innovative ways to promote higher-order thinking skills
- Examine ethical considerations of AI, including the achievement gap, privacy concerns, and bias
For K-12 educators, as well as leaders and policymakers who want to understand the role of technology in education, AI and the Future of Education is a valuable resource that can change AI from an unknown entity to an indispensable tool.
