What is your primary role in the Digital Tattoo project?
My role involves developing thought-provoking educational resources that explore the intersections of AI, privacy, bias, and agency. I am also working on expanding our outreach efforts and visual design strategies. I am focusing on using visual metaphors and interactive tools to make complex digital literacy issues more engaging and accessible.
When did you start working with the Digital Tattoo team?
I joined the Digital Tattoo team in May 2025 (Summer term).
How did you get involved in Digital Tattoo?
I learned about Digital Tattoo through UBC’s Work Learn Program. I was immediately drawn to its mission of fostering digital literacy. Given my passion for exploring power structures behind technology and AI, I saw this as an opportunity to contribute to an initiative that aligns closely with both my professional values and academic interests.
Why do you believe Digital Tattoo is an important initiative?
Digital Tattoo is important as it creates a space for dialogue and reflection around the ways technology shapes our identities, choices, and rights. In a world where digital tools are often presented as neutral, I believe it’s crucial to question assumptions, disrupt narratives, and empower learners to engage with digital tools critically rather than passively accept their use.
What do you hope that readers will get out of Digital Tattoo?
I hope readers will feel empowered to be able to walk away with more questions than answers. They will feel inclined to reflect and critically examine their digital habits and the tools they use. I want them to feel encouraged to reclaim their agency and make more consciously informed decisions in the digital world.
What are you most passionate about?
I am passionate about creating learning experiences that provoke critical reflection on technology and AI. I believe education should empower learners not just to use technology, but to question it and reimagine its possibilities for more equitable futures.
What’s something people might not know about you?
People are often surprised to learn that I started working full-time at 17. Since then, I’ve had the chance to contribute to projects in different countries—mostly working remotely—while balancing work, study, and family life. These experiences have taught me a lot about self-directed learning, flexibility, and adapting across contexts.
