Who I Am & Why I’m Here
I didn’t start out in tech. I walked into the world of IT with an academic hat on top, an interest in stats, data, and machine learning, and a green field in front of me where I had no experience. The moment I realized I wasn’t alone, people—mentors, fellow women building AI‑driven products, and allies who believed in my potential—started pulling the missing pieces together for me. Their guidance turned my curiosity into a clear identity as an AI practitioner and leader.
Because those lifelines saved my journey, I now pay it forward. I volunteer with Women in AI and Digital (WAID), where I moderate expert interviews and mentor emerging women as they navigate their own AI pathways. Every conversation, every piece of feedback, every “aha!” moment is a reminder that the tech ecosystem thrives when we lift each other up.
