Working closely with a U.S.-based mentor will allow me to gain practical insights into strategic product development, innovation culture and stakeholder alignment at scale.

This experience will help me grow into a more confident decision-maker, prepared to lead transformative initiatives in my region and beyond.

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

After TechWomen, I will channel the mentorship insights into empowering digital transformation efforts across the Palestinian Territories. I plan to mentor young professionals, especially women in tech, by sharing practical frameworks, leadership lessons and global best practices. I will introduce scalable project and product strategies in my organization and contribute to building a more innovative and expansive tech culture. Through community workshops, knowledge-sharing sessions and continuous collaboration, I aim to amplify the impact of this experience and support sustainable growth within local tech ecosystems.
