What impact will your mentorship have on your career and professional path?

I anticipate that collaborating with a U.S.-based mentor will significantly enrich my career by providing invaluable insights into advanced coding methodologies, industry best practices, and emerging technologies. This collaboration will expand my professional network, open doors to new opportunities in the global tech ecosystem, and enhance my leadership skills. By integrating these learnings into my work at WEEPRO CODERS and beyond, I aim to accelerate innovation, elevate educational standards, and empower more young learners in Pakistan with essential coding skills, thereby making a lasting impact on both my career trajectory and the local tech education landscape.

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

After participating in the TechWomen program, I will leverage my experience to empower girls staying at home in rural areas of Pakistan by introducing remote learning options through my coding school. Inspired by innovative setups observed in the USA, I aim to expand access to STEM education, enabling these girls to develop essential coding skills from the comfort of their homes. By leveraging technology and implementing scalable remote learning solutions, I seek to bridge educational gaps, empower young girls with valuable skills, and contribute to their future success in the digital world.
