About

Out of the multiple roles in my life, my favourite ones are always being a mom and a learner. Now that I have seen the parallel between human and machine learning, I firmly believe that ML must be led with human intentions, both from the individual and societal perspectives. To build a community to co-design a future in this direction, this is where I am standing now.
