The tech industry is evolving at an incredible pace, and I’ve come to realise just how important it is to have role models who guide and inspire the next generation.
When I was named a Digital +Her Real Role Model, I didn’t see it as a recognition of my achievements but as a responsibility to give back and make a difference.
My journey in tech has been anything but straightforward, but if my story can inspire even one person to pursue their passion, then I’ve achieved something truly meaningful.
Through my business, ElevAIte, I’m on a mission of empowering women in AI education.
I believe in empowering others to flourish in the tech industry, no matter where they start or how late they begin.
My goal is to provide accessible training and innovative solutions that make AI understandable and achievable for everyone.
Empowering women in technology has always been at the heart of what I do, and I strive to make AI education accessible to all.
Empowering Women in AI Education:
My Journey of Resilience and Continuous Learning
My path to becoming a figure in AI education was filled with its share of challenges.
As a single mother of 17 years with ADHD, I had to juggle multiple responsibilities while trying to build a career.
But it was these very challenges that fuelled my determination.
A conversation with a tech CEO ignited a spark in me—there was a clear gap in AI education, and I realised that I could help bridge it.
I founded ElevAIte with a simple mission: empowering women in AI education and beyond.
I wanted to create workshops that were relatable and jargon-free, breaking down complex AI concepts into something anyone could understand.
I’m not someone who seeks the spotlight, but seeing the impact of my work on others has been incredibly rewarding.
My journey has taught me the importance of continuous learning and resilience. From being a social media manager to diving deep into AI, every step has been about adapting and growing.
I don’t see myself as someone special—just someone who has kept pushing forward, no matter the obstacles.

Why Being a Digital +Her Real Role Model Matters to Me
When I was recognised as a Digital +Her Real Role Model, it wasn’t about personal success or recognition.
It was about the opportunity to inspire others, especially young women, to see their potential in the tech industry.
I’ve always believed that success isn’t just about what you achieve; it’s about how you can help others on their journey.
I share my story not because it’s extraordinary, but because I hope it shows that anyone can make a difference.
Being a role model isn’t about seeking fame or staying in your comfort zone.
It’s about leading by example, embracing challenges, and using your experiences to empower others.
Inspiring the Next Generation: My Call to Action
If there’s one thing I’ve learnt, it’s that the tech industry is always changing, and there’s always room for new voices and perspectives. To anyone considering a career in digital and tech, my advice is simple: don’t wait. Dive in, explore, and don’t be afraid to make mistakes. I didn’t start my journey in tech until later in life, and while I’ve learnt a lot, I often wonder what might have been if I had started earlier.
But it’s never too late to start, and that’s what I want to share with others. Whether you’re just beginning or looking to change your path, there’s no better time than now to embrace your curiosity and seek out new opportunities.
With ElevAIte, my mission is to empower women of all ages to flourish in AI. I believe that with the right support and resources, anyone can blossom into a tech leader.
Embracing the Role: How You Can Make an Impact
I never set out to be a role model, but I’ve come to realise that we all have the ability to inspire others. By sharing your journey, mentoring those around you, and staying committed to learning, you can make a significant impact. The tech industry needs more people who are willing to lead with empathy and humility, and I hope to encourage others to step into that role.
Your story has the power to inspire, just like mine. Let’s work together to create a tech community that is inclusive, diverse, and supportive.
I’m humbled by the opportunity to be a Digital +Her Real Role Model, and I hope that my journey can inspire others to pursue their passions. Success isn’t just about individual achievements—it’s about making a difference in the lives of others.
If I can do it, so can you. Let’s embrace our roles and build a more inclusive and innovative tech industry for the future.
At ElevAIte, we’re committed to helping you blossom into AI at any age. Together, we can empower the next generation of women in tech.
