Asia Game Changer West

: Published: Wednesday, 05 June 2019

Growing up, I read stories about technology being created in San Francisco. So I was truly honoured when I was named an inaugural Asia Society Change Agent West in San Francisco, in front of 350 friends of the Asia Society, alongside Roya Mahboob and the Afghan Girls Robotics team, global Hep B advocate Dr Sam So and “the Father of Fibre Optics” Dr. Narinder Kapany. Thank you Asia Society Northern California - I am truly humbled by the recognition!

Below is a video of my acceptance speech.
