My expertise in AI ethics, data privacy, and emerging technologies informs my leadership in global projects, focusing on AI ethics, governance, and public advocacy. A key part of my role involves a humanitarian focus and raising awareness about the ethical use of AI.
  • My tenure at the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Bermuda (PrivCom) was pivotal in developing my skills in regulatory navigation, team leadership, and inclusive privacy strategy. I emphasized research, training, and advocacy, particularly in enhancing diversity and opportunities for women and girls in AI.
  • Today, I apply these experiences to advocate for AI that serves humanitarian goals and broadens global understanding. I am committed to creating an inclusive, ethically aware AI landscape, ensuring it remains beneficial and accessible to all. This journey of ongoing learning and contribution is both a privilege and a responsibility.
