I’ve had the privilege of moderating panels, speaking at international conferences, guest lecturing in universities, and leading workshops on some of the most pressing issues at the intersection of law, technology, and human rights. My speaking engagements have taken me across North America, Central and Latin America, the Middle East, Europe, and Africa, where I’ve addressed audiences ranging from students and academics to policymakers, industry leaders, and civil society advocates. I speak on a range of topics, including consumer digital privacy, the regulation of emerging technologies, social media governance, applied tech ethics, and the broader implications of digital innovation on fundamental rights. Whether I’m facilitating dialogue, presenting research, or offering practical insights, I strive to make complex legal and technological issues both accessible and actionable.
