The TechWomen mentorship will bring me numerous opportunities to make a difference in my community, stay committed to my job, build confidence, accomplish my goals, broaden my network and improve my problem-solving abilities. These essential learning abilities, mindsets and attitudes will have a significant impact on my professional and personal development.
