Bio

I am a multi-award winning social entrepreneur and founder of Teens In AI, motivated to make a difference in the world by empowering young people aged 12-18 to solve real problems through technology. Teens In AI (www.teensinai.com) was spurred by my passion for AI and its ability to create a positive and lasting impact on the world. It was officially launched at the ITU’s AI For Good Global Summit to improve diversity and inclusion in Artificial Intelligence. Teens in AI has partnered with global FTSE 100 companies and governments to integrate the skills of tomorrow into educational systems today.
