Ideal Company Type

I want to join a company that values its employees and welcomes cultural diversity; a company that supports its employees with a positive and productive working environment and encourages professional development networking. I would love to get involved in projects centered around software testing and analysis, and gain knowledge in how my host company approaches project management. I will apply best practices learned when I return to Rwanda. Finally, my ideal company is one that sees in value branding oneself online.

What are three adjectives that best describe you in the work place?

1. Reliable
2. Curious
3. Outgoing

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

I hope to gain advanced technical understanding that will equip me with knowledge and expertise used when providing advice about software products to different government institutions and companies. The mentorship will also be a chance to gain knowledge and skills that I can use in my own mentoring activities, as I will be able to give back to the community by sharing the lessons learnt to Rwandan young innovators and fellow women in tech.

What will be your most valuable contribution to your TechWomen host company?

My most valuable contribution to my TechWomen host company is that I will be a voice for them in Rwanda. In addition, I hope that I will get the opportunity to tell them about my country, for them it will be a chance to hear about our culture and where we are in terms of development and vision of ICT. We can strategize how best my host company can look for opportunities in Africa, especially Rwanda, with a goal of using ICT for social and economic development of the country.

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

I am planning to start a company that provides guidelines to young innovators in Rwanda on how to start a company and teach them how to write proper business models that are sustainable and help them secure funds or investors for their businesses and projects.
