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

TechWomen is a valuable experience that can help me to grow both personally and professionally by gaining new perspectives, exposing me to new ideas and ways of thinking, building my network. I hope to open up new opportunities and advance my career by developing new skills, becoming a more well-rounded professional and Increase my confidence, enabling me to take on new challenges and pursue opportunities that I may have otherwise been hesitant to pursue.

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

I can see that females in other industries, rather than the oil and gas industry, benefit from this exchange and similar mentorship programs. However, women in my domain, due to the workload and the lack of time, cannot take advantage of these opportunities. After finishing my TechWomen mentorship, I will transfer all what I have learned to this minority. Conferences, startups, training, workshops and social media are tools that will help to share and conduct the same experience for all the women who are willing to stand up and step up to gain key positions and prove themselves as effective leaders.
