27The Top Three Things I Would Like to Learn or Experience During my Mentorship
- Learn about education technology trends, especially offline trends, to make quality education accessible to people without internet access.
- Network with startup founders and learn from their experiences, mistakes and challenges.
- Improve my skills in leadership to be more innovative and inspiring.
What are three adjectives that best describe you in the work place?
- Curious
- Assertive
- Social
What impact will your mentorship have on your career and professional path?
The network I hope to gain during the TechWomen program will be a source of inspiration and support in striking up partnerships with other women dedicated to fostering girls in tech in their respective countries. I intend to also draw inspiration and motivation from the various companies in Silicon Valley to enable me to set up my startup for success.
After participating in the TechWomen program, how will you leverage your mentorship experience to make an impact in your home country?
Through my nonprofit, AfriTech Hub, I will continue my influence young girls in my country to become passionate about STEM subjects and break stereotypes that seek to limit their potential. I will become a reliable ambassador of TechWomen in Cameroon upon return home, and I will take it upon myself to serve as a mentor and reference in my country for women in STEM.
