_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I am founder and president
of STEM Institute, a C-level consulting firm advisor to organizational leaders
to influence change and create new horizons and growth opportunities through insightful
analysis, innovative strategic planning, leadership management, advocacy,
policy, and organization building.
Co currently, I am co-founder
and president of Jayco MMI Inc. a 25-year old technology company that
innovates, designs and manufactures user interfaces technology. Previously I was , Advisor to Borough Council on
South Asian Communities; and Prior Employment Laws Advisor to EOC.
My strength is my diverse
knowledge and experience of private and public sector, academia, and
government. My experience is a synthesis that cuts across the diverse sectors
of culture, belief systems , community and governance and economy. My life’s passion is to impact change from
the inner core outwards. Creating a unique platform for dialogue in levels and
depth that has not been thought of before. I have held/ hold leadership in
several capacities including at UN committees
and Caucus in the Commission on Status of Women, Public Policy Director NAWBO ,
founder and Next Generation Convener for IFUW; International relational
advisor for AAUW; Instrumental in passing legislation on anti-Trafficking
; Commissioner at City of Placentia,
Chair Social Services Commission Borough Council.
I am passionate about
human rights and the internet and would like to nominate myself to serve on the
IRPC Steering Committee. (On sabbatical this past year) I understand the
procedures of IGF and am able to speak at the forum and present salient points
with conviction and knowledge. My commitment to Human rights and the Internet is
demonstrated by my involvement as summarized below. I have a background of
collaborating across all partners in private and public sector, academia and
governmental agencies and NGO’s. In the coming future I see IRPC playing a key
role in shaping policy of Internet governance.
My experience is as follows.
1. Founder member on the original Bill of Rights 2006 coalition and subsequently IRPC
2. Served on the IG Appeals Committee
3. Served on and IG Nominations committee
4. Active since the WSIS days and have presented papers.

7. Collaborated and jointly authored of the Ten Principles.
8. Participate actively in IRPC online “conversations”
I have good access to internet and
am able to respond promptly to emails. As an SC member I would like to work
more in a policy influencing role, collaborate on opinion /expert documents and
am happy to represent IRPC at other agencies and create awareness and support
for our work.
