In addition, she made contributions as a science education specialist in the private sector and as a science communicator at the Department of Science and Innovation (previously known as the Department of Science and Technology).

A notable milestone in her career is being selected as part of the BRICS Young Scientist Forum and Innovators Prize 2023, a distinction that underscores an unwavering commitment to advancing science. Looking ahead, she is driven by the belief that our collective efforts in education and research shape a brighter future, and she is resolute in her mission to drive meaningful progress in these realms.
