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

I'm looking for cultural exchange, and skills development in order to enlarge my capacities and vision. Make an international network and build strong partnerships. I want to experience the real American lifestyle, especially at work because I have always been inspired by the American culture since I launched my co-working space. Working with different mindsets and expertise will help me get inspired and develop my economic model. Improve my English accent by talking to native speakers in the USA. Knowing more about the US entrepreneurial ecosystem.

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

I will share my experience with the community and on social media also through radio programs ( knowing that I used to have my radio program about entrepreneurship) I will implement what I learn. I will work on growing my project to give more opportunities for project initiators and especially women by developing more incubation programs, coaching and mentoring them. I will build a bridge with international partners in USA in order to facilitate the growth for startups in my region.
