Alumna story
"My career path got tailored"
Starting a career in the tech space is an exciting idea but can get you lost as to where to start from. These were my very challenges until I got the opportunity to join Excel Our Girls' first-ever edition. My career path got tailored and became more specific - I created my first-ever dashboard as a result of the knowledge acquired.
