Current research: 

My current research focuses on the intersection of digital innovation, emerging technologies, and marginalized communities within the entrepreneurship landscape. Specifically, I investigate how emerging technologies influence these communities, exploring both the opportunities and challenges they present. I focus on how marginalized entrepreneurs navigate technological biases, aiming to leverage innovation for positive societal impact. By examining the strategic use of emerging technologies within marginalized communities, my research aims to unveil unique insights into innovation and ecosystem dynamics, the role of entrepreneurship, and the potential of these technologies to bridge societal gaps. I contribute to understanding the transformative power of digital innovation while addressing ethical considerations and biases relevant to marginalized communities.
