General Info

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

My most valuable contribution will be my desire for transforming healthcare through Innovation. I bring first-hand experience in navigating the challenges of operating a digital health platform in a resource-limited setting. This insight is invaluable for understanding the realities of implementing health tech solutions where infrastructure and resources are constrained. Also, I am committed to mentoring young women aspiring to enter the health tech field by providing guidance to help them overcome barriers and succeed. In sharing my experiences, I equally hope to offer fellow participants a glimpse into Cameroon's rich culture and traditions.

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

Having a mentor means I can learn directly from someone who has been through the process of scaling a tech initiative. Their day to day insights will be super helpful as I will apply those lessons to my own project. Plus, it will be a great chance to expand my professional network and build relationships that can lead to future collaborations long after the program ends. I am also excited to work closely with a mentor to improve my leadership and communication skills, which are essential for making impact in the digital health space.

After participating in the TechWomen program, how will you leverage your mentorship experience to make an impact in your home country?

After the TechWomen program, I plan to use the knowledge gathered during my mentorship experience in growing and expanding my digital health project, which aims to increase awareness and improve access to family planning resources for women and girls in my country. I plan to connect with other women in the startup space through the TechWomen network, learning from their experiences in creating impact in resource-limited settings, understanding the challenges they faced and how they navigated them. By learning from diverse leadership styles, I aim to sharpen my own leadership skills as I strive for community impact.
