As a chartered biologist and a biotechnology entrepreneur, I have a passion for creating innovative solutions that minimize waste, reduce carbon footprint, and decrease dependency on fossil fuels. I am also the ESG Director at TeknTrash, a company that uses AI and computer vision to measure the impact of packaging and products on the environment and society. In addition, I am a visiting lecturer at University of Westminster, where I teach an undergraduate module on enterprise in life sciences. I enjoy sharing my knowledge and experience with the next generation of biotech professionals and inspiring them to pursue their dreams.
