Represented Malta at the 2024 Summer School for Female Leadership in the Digital Age

Participating in the 2024 Warsaw edition of the School has been an unparalleled experience. The safe and welcoming environment, surrounded by so many bright minds, was truly inspirational. It encouraged me to broaden my ambitions and embrace change more openly. Coming from a smaller country, I’ve always been passionate about using technology to empower languages and ensure they keep pace with digital advancements. My decision to pursue a career in tech was somewhat impulsive—I applied for a Bachelor's in Artificial Intelligence with little prior knowledge. The journey hasn’t been easy, but discovering how AI can shape the future, particularly in Natural Language Processing, has fueled my passion. I’m currently pursuing a Master of Science, also specializing in Artificial Intelligence, with my post-graduate research focused on mitigating gender bias in language models for low-resourced languages.
