About

Christabel is a former professional social media strategist turned high school teacher, writer, and digital wellness advocate. She currently teaches with the Vancouver School Board, where she brings real-world insight into the classroom and supports students in building critical, future-ready skills.

After years of engineering viral content for tech platforms, Christabel had a reckoning: what happens when empathy becomes a business model? That question sparked a shift that moved away from marketing and into education.

As a certified teacher, Christabel helped launch Vancouver’s revised Career Education Curriculum, developing resources for both students and educators. She is currently exploring the integration of AI in public schools as a Copilot agent tester, working at the forefront of AI’s evolving role in education.

Through AMP Digital Reset, she helps parents, educators, and kids rethink their relationship with persuasive tech. She translates complex ideas about media manipulation, dopamine-driven design, and emotional extraction into clear, practical tools that help families take back control of their time and attention. Her workshops, writing, and resources help families unplug from the algorithm and reconnect with what matters most.
