My motivation has always been driven by current problems that have long-lasting implications.
I am determined to disseminate my knowledge and offer opportunities to younger generations; particularly involving more girls in business and STEM. I hope my achievements have proven this philosophy, as I strive to be an example and instigator of opening the doors to more young women, not only to STEM and entrepreneurship, but indeed to pursue their ambitions of creating positive change. I hope to inspire women to invent their own life paths. Whether in academia, the industry, the arts or hobbies, there is no limit to the impact and opportunities you can create.

A Call to Action
What if I told you that your DNA is only 0.1% unique to you, and that the ecosystem of microbes in your gut – your “gut microbiome” – is more than 80% unique to you. So how does your “microbial signature” then, affect bio-crime?

From hackathon to start-up
Microsoft Student Partner Lead
I led teams of 25+ (Imperial and UCL) and managed global technology competitions such as the ImagineCup (+2M participants from >100 countries) and events such as Imperial Festival (+20,000 visitors). I orchestrated seminars and hackathons at Imperial, UCL, and with Microsoft Research Cambridge, with the aim of translating innovative tools into start-ups. I developed global initiatives such as Tour de Tech; a program I organized at Microsoft to promote women in Computer Science around the world (US, EU, UAE). My work has led to multiple awards including an invitation to represent the UK from >2800 candidates at Microsoft HQ, Seattle.
