What will be your most valuable contribution to your TechWomen mentorship?
I am happily willing to help with any tasks that my mentor may assign for me and I shall have no difficulties as I am a fast learner. I would love to conduct an introductory session to my mentors and host company's team about Masarat, the company I work in, which is a great chance to learn about Libyan companies' culture. Lastly, networking, and how much I am willing to stay connected to my mentors and teammates, I would love to be the focal point for any possible future collaboration that may involve both my company and the host company.
The Top Three Things I Would Like to Learn or Experience During my Mentorship
- Gain broader perspective of different managerial career paths to women in tech companies and what is possible for me to pursue back home.
- Get acquainted and closely monitor how commercial management in tech and fintech companies work.
- Enhance my interpersonal skills such as negotiation tactics, resolving team conflicts, improve my leadership skills and learn how to increase self-resilience.
Mentorship Characteristic
- Have exposure to the company culture
- Focus on leadership skills building

Ideal Company Type
As I recently shifted my career to technology and at a stage that I consider myself 'fresh' in the field, everything I will learn, hear, observe and experience would be of a great value to my professional growth. Moreover, as a person enthusiastic about both technologies which is a fun, exciting field to work in, ever changing and evolving and as a passionate blogger, I'm fine being hosted in either a Fintech company or a social media company, precisely within the commercial management team to get a hands-on experience of how business, marketing and sales are done in the U.S.
What are three adjectives that best describe you in the work place?
- Ambitious
- Attentive
- Cheerful
What impact will your mentorship have on your career and professional path?
I hope that all the lessons learned from my Techwomen mentor will make me feel empowered to take on a more leadership position and earn my spot as a decision maker within higher managerial levels. Also I hope it will enhance my interpersonal skills, such as time management, to better prioritize urgent and non-urgent tasks, sharpen my problem-solving skills and excel in my negotiating skills to get the better offer for my company. Through this program I hope it will boost my assertiveness during brainstorming sessions and decision-making meetings, which will make me confident to take a proactive role in my company.
After participating in the TechWomen program, how will you leverage your mentorship experience to make an impact in your home country?
I aim to plan a workshop for my company's marketing staff about financial services, integrating soft skills in marketing and to help them keep pace with this fast-moving sector and contribute effectively to increase sales. Moreover, my company is revolutionizing the financial industry from cash to non-cash which requires adaptation from marketing and service design team and acquires lots of change. I am hoping to be a big part of after completing the TechWomen program, also in cooperation with training centers and youth CSOs, I will conduct sessions and workshops as a volunteer to showcase all I have learnt in weekly or monthly setting if possible.
