What impact will your mentorship have on your career and professional path?
I am looking forward to hear insights and advice from others' personal journeys. Learning from those I meet will boost my networks, self-confidence and ultimate success along the path in developing my career by helping me identify skills and expertise I still need to develop further. I will hear tips on how to overcame obstacles or challenges faced along their road to success.
After participating in the TechWomen program, how will you leverage your mentorship experience to make an impact in your home country?
I was lucky to come across wonderful women who have been generous with their time, knowledge and expertise and I aspire to do the same by mentoring other women who are interested in STEM. With my network of women formed through university, She codes, Project Silphium, Jusoor, Women Innovators Program, Speetar and my blog, I will manage to reach different young women and girls and share my story with them. I want to ensure that women and girls have access to this knowledge and these opportunities; they need to know that if they work hard enough, dreams do come true!
