What impact will your mentorship have on your career and professional path?
Professionally I intend to pursue a career in obstetrics and gynaecology focused on promoting women's sexual and reproductive health. In this digital era, considering the Covid-19 pandemic coupled with the ongoing sociopolitical crisis within my community digitalizing healthcare will be the most effective mode of health care delivery. Femtech is a fast growing global brand and I hope to build the first brand in Cameroon after my participation in the TechWomen program. The aim will be to promote women's health and advance gender equality by increasing access to healthcare services.
After participating in the TechWomen program, how will you leverage your mentorship experience to make an impact in your home country?
I have a goal to improve women's sexual and reproductive health by digitalizing health care service and product delivery. I intend to rebrand my Sexual Health Companion project into a Femtech social enterprise providing online consultation, birth control and ovulation products. Through this project I hope to engage more medical practitioners into exploiting digital health tech innovations in promoting preventive and curative healthcare. In collaboration with other TechWomen alumnae, I will organize annual summits to educate medical students on the current trends in digital healthcare and encourage younger women to pursue careers in STEM.
