An advocate in a range of fields, she also serves on the Council of Progressive International, has been a Director's Fellow at the MIT Media Lab, and was on the Board of Directors for AIGA NY. Celine's writings and contributions have been highlighted by prestigious media outlets such as New York Times, Fast Company and Scientific American.</p></div>https://zwc.ca/speakers/PublishingImages/celine-semaan.png, https://zwc.ca/speakers/PublishingImages/celine-semaan.png
