I greatly appreciate my advisor @neu-rips.bsky.social for guiding me into the field of RL theory. In addition to doing satisfactory research, I had the opportunity to build a network of friends at core institutions like AMMI, MILA, Stanford, MIT e.t.c.

I strongly hope that my completing the PhD would encourage more funding for African women in STEM via DMF and in general.

I thank @upf.edu, @enginyeria-upf.bsky.social, Dorcas Muthoni, sponsors of the Dorcas Muthoni Fellowship (DMF) for the opportunity to pursue an international doctorate without the burden of course fees, living and travel expenses.

Though I put in a ton of effort to get here, I am again reminded that it does take a community to raise a child. For this reason I am filled with gratitude to God and everyone who has accompanied me on this journey.
