I’m a digital policy, innovation and edtech specialist with a focus on emerging tech.
Currently I'm the digital foresight and policy specialist for UNICEF, based in Florence at UNICEF Innocenti - Global Office of Research and Foresight. I work at the intersection of children and their digital lives. Key issues I lead on include children and AI, digital misinformation / disinformation, the metaverse, digital literacy and equality.
Previously I was a Senior Project Officer at UNESCO, Paris, managing a partnership with Pearson to examine and highlight how inclusive digital solutions can help people with low skills and low literacy use technology in a way that supports skills development and, ultimately, improves livelihoods.
Before that I was Head of Mobile at Pearson South Africa’ Innovation Lab, established the mobile learning programme at UNESCO, and was Mobile Impact Evangelist for the mLab Southern Africa, an infoDev funded initiative to incubate mobile apps and content services development in the region.
For three years I held a prestigious Shuttleworth Foundation fellowship for 21st Century Learning and before that was a research fellow of the Reuters Digital Vision Program at Stanford University.
