What are three adjectives that best describe you in the work place?

  1. Self-motivated
  2. Assertive
  3. Team player

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

I would like to gain additional skills in product management and be mentored to follow the whole software life cycle. My mentorship will empower my leadership and management skills, which will be a great motivation and progress for my career.

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

I will leverage my TechWomen experience in my country by expanding my existing quality assurance community to include Business Analysts as well. The community will have two missions: first, to gather QA employees in Lebanon from different levels and markets so they can share knowledge and experience; second, to invite startups to community-hosted workshops to make them aware of the importance of having good quality products and to train them on different tools to use in product testing.
