Every month, we spotlight the contributions WTM Ambassadors are making to their community. Get inspired by their stories and successes.
Emerald is a 20-year-old Nigerian tech enthusiast who is a shining example of a changemaker!
From a young age, she was drawn to technology and its potential to solve real-world problems, leading her to participate in a Technovation competition at 16. Through this experience, she discovered the potential of technology to drive positive change, particularly in environmental sustainability and social impact.
Now, Emerald is a WTM and Society of Women Engineers Ambassador, working to empower aspiring engineers, especially women, to pursue their dreams in tech through mentorship and education. She is passionately dedicated to promoting inclusivity, breaking down barriers, and creating a thriving community where everyone can reach their full potential.
She is also part of the World Bank S4YE Youth Advisory Group (YAG), an organization that recognizes the crucial role of youth in shaping the future of AI, and ensures that the perspectives and experiences of young people are integrated into all aspects of their work, research, and decision-making. Through her work with YAG, Emerald is committed to empowering the next generation of AI professionals by advocating for their voices and creating a more inclusive environment where they can thrive.
When asked about what she wishes every woman who is interested in getting into the tech industry knew, Emerald said: “You have the power to make a significant impact in tech and contribute to a more inclusive and innovative future. Believe in yourself, break barriers, and defy stereotypes. The tech world needs your unique perspective and talents, so go out there and show the world what you can achieve!”
From inspiring talks on gender equity to incredible career transformations, this year's events have been nothing short of EPIC! 💥 As we prepare to wrap up 2023 with our first-ever WTM Membership Networking Event, we thought you might want to revisit our past events and get amped for the last event of the year and for everything that's in store for 2024!
