What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that promotes ethical AI development, values collaboration, and offers growth opportunities.

I am an aspiring AI ethics professional currently completing my BA (Hons) in Social Science, with a focus on addressing bias and discrimination in AI systems. My academic journey has equipped me with a solid understanding of digital societies and the ethical implications of AI technologies. I am passionate about promoting fairness and responsibility in AI development, leveraging my analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills.

Throughout my education, I have engaged in coursework that explores the intersection of AI and social structures, emphasizing ethical considerations. My participation in the Elevate Career Mentoring Program and completion of the 'AI For Everyone' course on Coursera have further deepened my understanding of AI's ethical challenges. I am eager to apply my knowledge and skills in a professional setting, contributing to the development of responsible AI systems.
