What will be your most valuable contribution to your TechWomen mentorship?
In my previous job, I was working in a non-operational role for some time in my organization. My role was switched to supervise operations after a couple of years. I worked on one drilling well in the current role and implemented lessons from previous wells to analyze risks from the offset wells. My team and I were able to deliver the fastest well in that concession with significant time and cost savings. I am a learner and result-oriented individual, and I can offer my project management skills to the host company.
The Top Three Things I Would Like to Learn or Experience During my Mentorship
- Enhance leadership and public speaking skills to promote women in the oil and gas industry in Pakistan
- Enhance project management and people management within technical teams
- Learn about the utilization of data analytics in drilling engineering
Mentorship Characteristic
- Have exposure to the company culture
- Visit an office or attend a site-visit
- Focus on leadership skills building
- Identify a short-term project I can work on at the partnering company
Ideal Company Type
My ideal company is a corporation or organization involved in the oil and gas industry with a focus on drilling engineering. I would be glad to work in a globally operating company where I can experience working in multi-cultural teams. This company provides a platform for everyone to grow and learn and employees feel valued and motivated to work.

What impact will your mentorship have on your career and professional path?
The TechWomen experience will open new doors of opportunities which I can use as a bridge to share these experiences with other women of my country who aspire to have a career in STEM fields. This opportunity will help me enhance the leadership skills that will benefit me to succeed in my career path. The relationship with professional mentors in similar fields will further aid to my professional network.
After participating in the TechWomen program, how will you leverage your mentorship experience to make an impact in your home country?
Each one of us can create an impact. What I learn from TechWomen will be utilized to work with women in the oil and gas industry and provide support for navigating their careers and create forums to help them flourish. I want to redefine the mindset of the local industry towards women in technical disciplines. I have been volunteering for promoting women and have been associated with different societies like SPE and Lean In Energy. The TechWomen experience will help me in acquiring the required skills to be a leader and influence more women in STEM fields
