Sam Kurdas
🦋 Courageously shaping the future of education and technology through a unique blend of teaching and digital marketing expertise 🦋
With a vibrant spirit and an unwavering commitment to making a difference, I am Samantha Kurdas, a substitute high-school teacher and freelance digital marketing manager. Passionate about education and driven by an interest in data and AI ethics, I strive to bridge the gap between digital marketing and education, creating innovative and inclusive learning opportunities that prioritize ethical data practices. I aim to teach secondary-level social science and introductory AI courses in Atlanta, Georgia. Looking ahead, I aspire to earn my doctorate in Epistemology, nurturing the minds of our future through higher education.
🎓 Education and Expertise 🎓 I hold two bachelor's degrees in Digital Audiences and Philosophy from Arizona State University and am pursuing my master's in Data and AI Ethics with The University of Edinburgh. With certifications in Humane Technology and Stewardship, I demonstrate my passion for knowledge and an unwavering commitment to personal growth.
💡Inspiring Change in Practice💡 I’m fueled by a deep desire to revolutionize how we interact with one another and care for our planet, by critically examining the implications of current and future technologies through philosophical study and research. I aim to challenge conventions and drive positive change. My dedication was recognized when I was awarded a scholarship from ASU's OURS program, where I explored the captivating realms of AI-generated art, identity, and copyright law. I strive to apply these valuable insights to my marketing work, promoting accessibility, diversity, and transparency in every endeavor.
🌍 Embracing Ethical Digital Solutions 🌍 In an ever-evolving digital landscape, I firmly believe in the power of design and aesthetic mindfulness to foster connections and make a difference. By seamlessly merging my philosophical perspectives with my marketing expertise, I am committed to enhancing inclusivity, bridging gaps, and empowering diverse audiences. Together, we can shape a future where technology aligns with our shared values and promotes a sustainable world.
Let's connect and embark on a collaborative journey that redefines education, challenges assumptions, and paves the way for a brighter tomorrow. Whether you seek an innovative educator, a creative marketer, or a reflective thinker, I am eager to make a lasting impact
