Mentorship Characteristic

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

I strongly believe that experiencing something firsthand is more valuable than hearing about it multiple times. Therefore, I think that working with a mentor in real-life situations will be the best way for me to learn, grow and develop all the necessary skill sets in my desired field. This approach will enable me to generate new ideas for my future work and identify my weaknesses, allowing me to improve upon them.

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

I am certain that the knowledge I gain from this program can be disseminated to all the people I meet in life. Initially, I can share it within the various female empowerment networks I am involved in and then progress to larger organizations that contribute to sustainable development. With the knowledge and experience gained from the TechWomen program, I can come up with new ideas and projects that will support the future generation of women in IT fields and promote sustainable development.
