About Me

Welcome to my portfolio!👋

My journey began with a BSc in Psychology with Criminology and Criminal Justice, followed by an MSc in Clinical Psychology. While working as an Assistant Psychologist, I discovered a passion for data analysis and completed the Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate. This led me to a role as a Data Analyst in a Cloud Services consultancy, where I built expertise in Python, Tableau, Power BI, MySQL, R programming, and cloud tools like GCP BigQuery and Azure Data Factory. During this time, I collaborated on projects such as building a Natural Language Processing (NLP) chatbot using AWS, which sparked my interest in Artificial Intelligence. Motivated to deepen my knowledge, I pursued an MSc in Artificial Intelligence whilst working at Deloitte as a Data Analyst, graduating with Distinction in 2024. My research focused on mental health, leading in my project: “Enhancing Empathy and Accuracy in LLM-Based Mental Health Support: Evaluating LangChain, RAG, and LoRA to Mitigate Hallucinations, Bias, and Insensitivity in Conversational AI” (look out for my research paper to be published in 2025!). Now, as an LLM Engineer at Metaverse VR, I combine my experience in AI/Data Science, Psychology, and Development to work on innovative, cutting-edge projects in virtual, mixed and augmented Reality. This portfolio highlights some of the exciting projects I’ve worked on, showcasing my skills and passion for creating meaningful solutions. I hope you enjoy exploring my work, and who knows—maybe it will inspire you to pursue your next big passion!
