What will be your most valuable contribution to your TechWomen mentorship?

I bring an entrepreneurial spirit and experience to my colleagues, and hope that it will bring creativity to the exchange process. I am very open-minded and positive, so it will definitely contribute to the engagement process. I can also share cultural insights of Central Asian startup ecosystem and knowledge on building startup ecosystem where is a huge gap of finances and resource constraints. Having launched several ventures, I can also bring my expertise in business development. I hope we can collaborate with all colleagues and mentors during the program.

What impact will your mentorship have on your career and professional path?

I seek to explore best practices in building e-learning platforms or platforms for school and parents engagement. I hope this experince will help me to build my own e-learning solution here. Another track, I am looking for exploring STEAM (science, technology, engingeering, art, mathematics) teaching programs to implement into kindergarden and school's curriculum. I will introduce it to kindergarden and schools focused on STEAM education. This knowledge will help me to enhance education system for kids.

I will leverage the mentorship experience to gain global insights, best practices, and innovative tools to create scalable, inclusive solutions. Additionally, I aim to introduce STEAM education in kindergartens and universities, fostering creativity, curiosity, and critical thinking from an early age. By sharing my knowledge with educators, parents, and policymakers, I hope to contribute to building a more future-ready generation and a stronger foundation for lifelong learning.
