What impact will your mentorship have on your career and professional path?
I believe my professional TechWomen mentorship will help me realize my full potential and expand my knowledge of different learning strategies, which I can use for establishing the first educational application to teach English to students in Libya. Additionally, it will guide me through figuring out what steps I can take to effectively manage an organization dedicated to promoting STEM education through the use of coding. Lastly, I will have a network of support to keep me inspired to achieve all of my goals.

I believe that education is the most powerful tool for sustainable development. Therefore, I would love to share my experience, knowledge and network from the TechWomen program to improve the quality of education in Libya by creating educational applications. Additionally, the network I will gain during my mentorship will be a great way to share experiences and challenges, and to come up with innovative ideas to implement in creating my STEM organization. Finally, I would like to pay my experience forward and start mentoring girls and encourage them to pursuing STEM as a major and a career.
