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

This unique opportunity with the TechWomen program will give me the skills, knowledge and experience that will not only boost my career and professional life but also set me on the path down which I would like to lead others in my community. This experience will guide me toward setting up my own data consultancy business. I already work with women and girls to develop their tech skills to fulfill future requirements; my experience with TechWomen would help me identify new paths for them as well.

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

I am looking forward to returning home with loads of multicultural and expert experience in the field of data sciences. I will start my own free education channel for women, through which I will teach methods for running a business while being a student, housewife, or a working woman. I will aim to cultivate a passion for learning and building sustainable ways for women to work from anywhere. Additionally, I will work on utilizing data in reliable decisionmaking.
