I went to Harris Academy Battersea before heading to Queen Mary University of London, where I studied Creative Computing. I’ve always been fascinated by how technology and creativity come together, whether it’s through web development, software engineering, or even quantum computing. I love the challenge of solving problems and finding new ways to make technology more intuitive and engaging.

University
I went to Harris Academy Battersea for my A-Levels, where I earned myself 4 A*s before heading to Imperial College London to study Physics. I was part of the first-generation of my family to go on to higher education, so going to university was an important goal for me. While maths and science had always interested me, I realised by true passion for it through being curious and engaging in as many opportunities as I could outside of school. Those experiences allowed me to explore areas of science you don’t usually get to cover in school and ultimately led me to where I am today.

University
I attended Harris Academy Battersea, where I achieved five A*s, and then went on to study Artificial Intelligence and Decision Making at MIT. From a young age, I was always fascinated by how AI can change society-both the good and the bad. That curiosity took me down a path where I’ve explored everything from AI privacy to building AI-powered tools for education.
