Credential Transparency & Professional Boundaries
1. Academic Degrees vs. Ministerial Credentials
Dr. Cornish holds a Doctor of Divinity (D.Div.) conferred in 2023 by Universal Life Church. This is a ministerial and religious credential awarded within faith-based community leadership and ministry contexts. It is not an academic doctorate (such as a Ph.D. or Ed.D.) in education, computer science, or technology.
Dr. Cornish’s formal academic and educational credentials include a Master of Arts in Educational Leadership (M.Ed.) from Wayne State University (2005), a Bachelor of Science in Family and Consumer Science from Ferris State University (1999), an Associate-level preparation in Baking & Pastry Arts from Johnson and Wales University (1995), and State of Michigan administrative leadership, teaching, and CTE vocational authorizations.
2. In His Own Voice: Why AI Literacy Coaching is Framed as a Calling
“I view technology literacy as a community ministry—a service calling centered on democratizing access to high-impact artificial intelligence tools for public school educators, underserved school districts, and working families who might otherwise be left behind by rapid technological shifts. When major AI labs release powerful generative models, many educators and community members feel overwhelmed by fear, mistrust, or the complex, intimidating terminology surrounding AI safety testing, red-teaming, and model alignment. My personal mission is to walk alongside people, demystify these systems in plain language, and ensure that every school and community can access and benefit from free or subsidized enterprise-grade tools like Claude for Teachers without fear or confusion.”
3. Clear Professional Scope: Educational Technology Coaching, Not Healthcare
All services, consultations, and professional development sessions provided by DocAIRC constitute educational technology coaching, systems architecture, prompt engineering instruction, and organizational workflow consulting. This work is not licensed psychological counseling, psychotherapy, medical care, or clinical psychiatric treatment, and is not a substitute for professional mental health support or healthcare services. School districts and institutions engaging DocAIRC contract solely for technical setup, staff professional development, and educational technology implementation.
