About me

AI policy expert, ethicist, and data scientist focused on building equitable and rights-based approaches to digital governance.

My work sits at the intersection of responsible AI, human rights, and the evaluation of digital technologies.

Trained in both the technical and social dimensions of data-driven systems, I hold an MSc in Social Data Science (University of Oxford, Distinction) and a BSB in Business Data Analytics and Religious Studies (Wake Forest University). I bring expertise in machine learning, data analysis, and sociotechnical systems thinking – always grounded in ethical reflection.

My goal is to bridge technical, policy, and human rights communities to ensure that AI and data technologies serve the public good.

Research

At The Alan Turing Institute, I have led and contributed to projects on responsible research and innovation, AI policy and governance, human rights and AI, and the use of AI to improve public service provision.

I have worked with public sector bodies across health, education, and regulation, and partnered with global organisations such as the Global Partnership on AI, the Council of Europe, UNICEF, UNESCO, and the UK Information Commissioner’s Office to advance ethical, human rights-based approaches to AI governance.

Teaching

At the University of Oxford, I worked as an Associate Teaching Fellow, delivering weekly lectures for 25 University of Oxford postgraduate students on topics of leadership, character, and virtue ethics as they relate to the tech sector. I have delivered guest lectures for a number of universities including University College London, Wake Forest University, Bocconi University, and the University of Oslo.
