United Nations

Passionate about empowering future generations, I serve as the Ambassador of Women in Science and Tech at the United Nations and founded the Dream Big Initiative to close the gender gap in STEM. My contributions earned global recognition, including an honorary award from King Abdullah II of Jordan and a $50,000 grant from Bill Gates at the World Economic Forum. My tech journey began with internships at Facebook, NASA, and Microsoft, leading to roles where I helped secure over $50M in startup funding. As a Product Manager at Google, I led customer-facing innovations that generated $150M+ in revenue. Now, I drive strategic partnerships and business development accelerating innovation and growth. Beyond my career, I inspire and educate as a social media influencer with over 1M followers, sharing insights on technology, leadership, and personal growth. Through tech, entrepreneurship, and advocacy, I remain committed to breaking barriers and creating opportunities for the next generation.
