Tell us a little bit about your career so far…

I'm a Mompreneur, Philanthropist, Student, Researcher, and Data Interpreter.

Song you're listening to on repeat at the moment?

3 Daqat - Abu, Yousra

What’s a quote you live by?

There's a few:

1. There's a solution for every problem

2. We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.

3. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

Outside of work, what do you love to do?

Spend time with my children 💙💙🩷💙

Why did you join Ladymates Collective?

Being a mompreneur can be lonely and it's hard to find other women in tech to meet and build a community with. I've been looking for my village of females in tech for years!!

What's been your favourite part of Ladymates Collective thus far?

I found my tribe ♥️ I'm so honoured to meet some of the smartest and inspirational women in tech. It's a safe place to discuss experiences and ask for advice. I've upskilled since joining, especially in some Chief of staff skills. Ladymates/ Startmates is really a no BS environment and community that put their money where their mouth is and invest and support women like me in business. It's been an absolute relief being here. It's like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

What does "Ladymates" mean to you?

My tribe. My inspiration. My safe place.
