Loretta
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning PhD
"As well as working towards my PhD I also have a foundation back in Ghana which is inspiring and motivating young girls to study for STEM professions. It’s unlikely that parents of girls would recommend getting into data science or tech jobs, they’re more likely to think about more traditional jobs like being a doctor or a lawyer. The foundation aims to get them interested and show them that girls can have a career in STEM."
