  • About me:

    I'm on a mission—a mission to pioneer the path through the ever-evolving realm of emerging technologies while fiercely advocating for the well-being of future generations. As a mother of four, I intimately understand the profound impact these technologies have on our mental and emotional health.

     

    Juggling multiple roles, I'm not just a dynamic force in the tech industry; I'm a relentless researcher delving into the psychological depths of immersion, presence, and embodiment in spatial computing/extended realities. Drawing from my background as a movement psychotherapist, I'm driven by the unwavering belief that technology should enrich our lives, not dimish our human experience.

     

    As an Emerging Technology Consultant for esteemed institutions such as National Online Safety, the Zero Abuse Project, and the University of East London, and manymore, I'm unwaveringly committed to weaving emerging technologies into the fabric of classrooms and homes responsibly. Through a dedication to evidence-based methods and best practices, I strive to ensure that our digital advancements align harmoniously with the well-being of society at large.

     

    But beyond professional titles, I'm a mother, a researcher, and an advocate deeply concerned about our collective future. That's why I'm tirelessly dedicated to shining a light on the societal and psychological implications of emerging tech like the metaverse, spatial computing, blockchain, web3 and AI. Together, let's forge a future where innovation and well-being walk hand in hand.
