About me

I am still shaping the person I am becoming, but I have a clear vision of who I want to be and am committed to making it a reality. Having a creative outlet is essential to maintaining balance in my life, allowing me to express myself and stay grounded. I am passionate about investigating the brain and combating degenerative neurological diseases, striving to use technology to create meaningful change. I want my work to make a lasting impact and to help create a space where girls feel valued in STEM careers. I envision travelling the world, immersing myself in different cultures, and connecting with diverse individuals—experiences that will inspire me to develop groundbreaking solutions in my future career. Through kindness and positivity, I strive to uplift those around me, always greeting others with a smile. Looking ahead, I aspire to surround myself with people who encourage and inspire my growth.
"I am driven to create life-changing technology that recognises, predicts, and potentially reverses the effects of devastating neurological diseases like dementia. I know that this is an ambitious goal but I aspire to be a woman in STEM who creates meaningful change through collaboration with others."
