What impact will your mentorship have on your career and professional path?
When it comes to learning from big companies and high-profile mentors, I feel that the TechWomen program will provide a new perspective and point of view. These new experiences will complement my practical and academic knowledge, allowing me to complete the circle of learning. I believe that this program will be one of the life-changing experiences and will change the next course of my career path.

Egypt's economy has been among the fastest-growing in recent years, necessitating an increase in the demand for experts in a variety of fields. One of the main drivers of a country's economic growth is the private sector. Here's when having a high level of experienced and skilled professionals and organization becomes crucial. During the TechWomen program, this type of knowledge and experience will be enhanced and improved. On a different level, I serve as a mentor in a variety of incubator and accelerator programs, where this knowledge and experience will be shared with a larger number of companies and startups.
