Acquiring knowledge and skills has always been a passion of mine. I first started coding at 13, being the only girl and person of colour in my course. I quickly realised that I had to work hard to earn my place in technology and AI. At the age of 15, I started visiting university lectures in various subjects ranging from Computer Science to Philosophy and Cybernetics. I quickly developed an interest in the complexities of AI. Thus, I completed a BSc in AI and Robotics and continued with an MSc in AI and Natural Language Processing. Simultaneously, I worked with a humanoid robot at the German Aerospace Center and later explored the societal impacts of AI at the Ada Lovelace Institute. I have been an active member of various organisations that raise awareness of algorithmic bias and AI literacy while empowering people from marginalised communities to follow their goals in AI. With a passion for bridging cultural and linguistic divides, I aspire to lead research initiatives through my PhD that contribute to the development of responsible and inclusive AI systems, ensuring that language technologies are accessible, fair, and culturally sensitive across diverse communities worldwide.
