Student Founder

IB Diploma student and emerging Information Science researcher exploring how technology, people, and institutions interact.

Her work combines educational AI, user research, product testing, nonprofit leadership, writing, and public-interest research.

Through her voluntary work with Government schools, she saw talented students held back by unequal access to quality teaching, communication skills, technology, and career guidance. Rather than accepting these gaps, she envisioned an AI-powered learning platform that could support teachers, personalize learning, and prepare students for future careers.
