 In which area of life have you been most
successful and comfortable to share with the world
about? In the realm of entrepreneurship, I’ve found
success in the technology sector, particularly in software development and
innovation.

challenges?
The drive to make a
meaningful impact in the tech world inspired my journey. Overcoming initial
challenges involved relentless determination, continuous learning, and building
a strong support network.

Please share a significant moment or decision
that played a significant role in your success? 
A pivotal moment in my journey in the technology
sector was when I chose to take on a challenging project that pushed me out of
my comfort zone. Embracing the opportunity, despite initial doubts, allowed me
to showcase my capabilities and led to increased visibility within the
organization. This decision not only bolstered my confidence but also opened
doors to more impactful projects and opportunities for leadership roles. It
emphasized the importance of taking calculated risks and being resilient in the
face of challenges, ultimately contributing significantly to my success in the
tech industry. It opened doors to unforeseen opportunities and accelerated my
path to success.

 How do
you navigate work-life balance and maintain your well-being amidst the success?
Balancing work and life involves setting
clear boundaries, I prioritize self-care, and leverage technology to streamline
tasks. Regular self-care routines, such as exercise and mindfulness, contribute
to maintaining my well-being. Networking with supportive peers and seeking
mentorship also provides me with valuable insights on managing a thriving
career while nurturing my personal life. I also regularly reassess my
priorities which helps me maintain my well-being.

What advice would you give to aspiring women
on a similar journey or who dream of the same kind of success?
To aspiring women in the tech industry, I’d advise
cultivating a strong foundation of technical skills while continuously
embracing learning opportunities. Build a supportive network of mentors and
peers to seek guidance and share experiences. Don’t shy away from challenging
projects; they often lead to significant growth. Prioritize work-life balance,
setting boundaries, and practicing self-care to sustain long-term success.
Finally, believe in your abilities, be resilient, and never underestimate the
value of your unique perspective in contributing to innovation and success in
the technology sector.
Embrace challenges as
learning opportunities, and don’t shy away from taking calculated risks.

 In the
face of setbacks, how do you stay resilient and continue to thrive in your
journey?

Resilience stems from viewing setbacks as temporary obstacles rather
than insurmountable failures. I Learn from my failures, adapt quickly, and
maintain a positive mindset which is very crucial in thriving despite my
