I have done extensive research on best practices in emerging tech policy for the inclusion of minority groups and worked with organizations such as the ITU, ISOC, and the Internet Governance Research Lab at American University. I would welcome the opportunity to represent the interests of end-users in the ALAC and empower the voices of the new generation of digital natives.
