I am also the co-founder of Imago Dei Fitness, a Catholic-inspired fitness coaching business.
2024 - 2026
Master of Liberal Arts
University of Notre Dame Australia
-
Grade: High Distinction for Supervised Dissertation Philosophy and Theology.
-
Thesis title: 'Catholic Education and Artificial Intelligence'.
The thesis reflected on the ultimate and proximate ends of Catholic education, and the engineered ends of artificial intelligence. The thesis argued that the reasons that make AI technologies appear promising in Catholic education can in fact, be the ones that present the greatest danger to integral human formation. -
