A little about me
I'm Rita. I spend most of my time at the intersection of education, technology, and public policy.
After 15 years working across government, international organizations, and academia, I've learned that the biggest challenges are rarely technical. They're about helping people and institutions understand new ideas and turn them into meaningful action.
Today, I focus on AI and the opportunities and challenges it may create. I'm interested in how governments, organizations, and individuals adapt to these technologies, and in helping ensure that access to knowledge and opportunity expands.
