Hi, I'm Yasmin!
I'm a recent master's graduate in digital transformation who speaks 5 languages and has explored over 20 countries.
I'm passionate about AI, research, and operations. I've published work on VR for stress relief and AI in recruitment.
When I'm not working, you'll find me traveling, baking, or training my German Shepherd, Nala.
