BIO: "Financial Analyst at Societe Generale in NYC, part of a 4.7 bb USD financing book. I am also part of the American Women’s Network, and Black Leadership Network. Multilingual (English, Setswana, and Mandarin) and motivated young Motswana with a history of service and community involvement in international settings. Also, a first-generation college graduate through the prestigious Top Achievers Scholarship. My goals include seeking solutions to Botswana’s challenges via thinking globally and acting locally. This is done primarily by exposing young Batswana to a global network, increasing digital competency, networking, and community service. Building and leveraging networks to bridge the generational divide and position more young people in vocal roles where they can effect change. Moreover, we seek to attract both governmental and private sector partnerships to our mission and increase visibility. Currently in the works: through a network of young Batswana abroad with specialized skills in IT, computer science, Biotechnology, Finance, and Education. This synergy will allow us to reach both subject matter and geographic diversification in targeting young people. Additionally, I have extensive experience in leading student workshops, mentoring, and tutoring students in the potential beyond Botswana and Southern Africa."
