Since being awarded as one of the Internet Society’s 25 Under 25 I have been quite busy with different requests and such like. I was invited to speak to some young people at a primary school about digital footprints and online safety. Talking about the Internet and its challenges is not something I am used…

#phonar at UC Irvine
It’s been a crazy couple of weeks and I am feeling super excited about how Phonar and Phonar Nation are moving forward.

Take a Selfie!

On Wednesday I was supporting the Get Your Belly Out campaign for a Twitter Takeover to raise awareness for Crohn’s and Ulcerative Colitis UK. Inflametary Bowel Disease carries a huge stigma because of its ‘invisible’ nature; many bellies in the community are facing a…

Being Active in a Community
Being part of an online community is something that I have been doing actively since I guess 2013. You could say that I’m a real newbie. What I mean by ‘actively being in a community’ is being part of conversations with people I don’t know, but have shared interests with. Until then I had been…
