What impact will your mentorship have on your career and professional path?
The TechWomen program will allow me to meet successful women from across the globe from whom I can learn and with whom I will hone my communication and networking skills. During the TechWomen program, I will have an opportunity to understand why some companies are sustainable, and others are not. The lessons I learn will help me to improve my own business.
After participating in the TechWomen program, how will you leverage your mentorship experience to make an impact in your home country?
During the TechWomen program, I will learn how to be a better leader. That means that, when I return home, I will be more skilled and effective in my continuing mentorship of women and girls. I will continue to mentor girls to choose science in high school and pursue science-related careers at university. I will also mentor other women to apply for the TechWomen program, and encourage them to pursue agricultural entrepreneurship as a pathway to prosperity. Regarding my own business, I am confident that my baby food will help to reduce malnutrition.
