⌛️Brussels - 🇪🇺 I'm thrilled to share a significant milestone in my professional journey, I've successfully completed the EU Cyber Diplomacy Fellowship! 🚀🔏💡@EUCyberDirect
This transformative experience has been nothing short of exceptional. I've delved into the depths of cyber diplomacy challenges and diplomatic intricacies, gaining insights that transcend the theoretical into the realm of practical solutions. Gratitude fills my heart for the incredible support, guidance, and mentorship I've received throughout this journey.
The wealth of knowledge, diverse perspectives, and global network cultivated during the fellowship have equipped me with a robust set of skills to navigate the ever evolving digital landscape. Now, armed with this expertise, I'm eager to contribute meaningfully to the world of cyber diplomacy.
I look forward to leveraging these skills to make a real world impact. The fellowship has not just been a program, it's been a voyage into the heart of cyber diplomacy, providing me with the confidence to turn aspirations into actions.
Here's to the next phase, where the knowledge gained becomes a driving force for positive change. Thank you @EU_ISS , for this incredible opportunity!

AI data centres are hungry for land, water & power.
I’m calling on every major AI company to publicly disclose the full environmental impact of its systems – as a matter of transparency
No more hidden costs.
No more shifting the burden onto those least able to bear it.
It is time to come clean.
