What I'm looking for

I'm seeking an entry-level job, internship, or professional opportunity where I can learn, contribute, and grow while applying software engineering, leadership, technology, community engagement, and social-impact experience.

I'm building Ukwezi Initiative, a social-impact project improving access to menstrual-care essentials with dignity, privacy, and kindness. I combine entrepreneurship, technology, awareness, and community engagement to create practical impact.

I've represented young people at the Africa School of Governance Forum, facilitated leadership and personal-development discussions through the John Maxwell Leadership Programme, and served as Vice Head Girl at Excella School. These experiences strengthened my public speaking, teamwork, communication, and organizational skills.

With technical secondary education in software engineering, I develop websites and digital solutions using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, Node.js, Express.js, SQL, and GitHub. I'm eager to learn, contribute, and grow through an entry-level role, internship, or professional opportunity.
