Bio

Breanna is a BA Philosophy student with a Human-Computer Interaction certificate at Northwestern University. She is passionate about the future where the majority of children can preserve their quiet and quirky wonders intact from the internet's enticing noise. For this reason, she founded Tedio, an intentional algorithm for child media startup, which has now been adapted into a children's book series and an app that teach parents and children about the dark patterns in social media and AI products. She is a Youth Ambassador at 5Rights Foundation and a youngest TechWomen 2025 Innovation Mentor, contributing to global efforts in children’s digital rights, ethical technology, and inclusive innovation.

Wisdom Quote

“Humility is not a peculiar habit of self-effacement, rather like having an inaudible voice, it is selfless respect for reality and one of the most difficult and central of all virtues.” - Iris Murdoch
