Joy Marie Curtis started her career as a Kindergarten teacher. Today, she is a Senior Project Manager implementing AI solutions for governments, hospitals, insurance companies, and beyond.

If you think that’s a jump from Kindergarten to Senior Project Manager, think again—because good project management should be as simple as the ABCs.

Joy currently runs the NeuralSeek Internship Program, where she mentors emerging talent and helps bridge the gap between theoretical AI knowledge and real-world implementation. Through this work, she focuses on building practical skills, ethical awareness, and delivery discipline in the next generation of AI professionals.

Joy believes too many AI companies overcomplicate implementation. Her approach is to simplify the landscape by guiding organizations through metacognitive strategies—thinking about how we think about AI—to get back to the fundamentals of what AI is, what it is not, and how it can create measurable impact.

She is not afraid to highlight both her project successes and failures, because her ultimate goal is to move AI from the imaginary into real-world impact.
