I am the Founder of the National Youth Technology Council (NYTC), a social-tech entrepreneur, speaker and advocate for responsible and equitable technology. My Fellowship focuses on how young people in the UK can actively shape ethical and inclusive digital, AI and emerging technology policy, governance models and development frameworks.

I will visit the USA, South Africa and Kenya to explore global best practices, blending insights from both the Global North and Global South. My research will examine youth participation in tech policy-making, AI and tech governance, digital education and skills, youth-led innovation, and building stronger collaboration between young people and the technology industry.

As a young leader working at the intersection of technology and politics, I believe young people should not merely be consumers of technology, but co-creators of its future. Drawing on these international insights, this Fellowship will enable me to advance the NYTC's work by developing practical frameworks, partnerships and strategies to strengthen meaningful youth engagement in technology policy, helping to build a UK tech ecosystem that is ethical, equitable and youth driven.
