What would you say are the most challenging and the most satisfying aspects of your work?

The most satisfying part of my work  comes  from seeing  the smiles and  receiving expressions  of gratitude from the people and organizations I have helped  through the years that I have been  doing ICT for D work.  Knowing that I have contributed to improving  people’s lives,  in big or small ways. Is fulfilling.
Bringing the benefits of ICTs  to those who have yet to be touched by the technology is in itself a challenge.

What qualifications or certifications did you attain in order to reach your professional goals?

I have attended numerous ICT related training in the Philippines and abroad. I have also participated in various international  ICT events and have learned  from the experiences of other countries. 

If there is one message you would like to convey to young women to encourage them to consider a profession in the ICT sector, what would it be?

Today’s world runs on information and communications technology (ICT).  ICT has given people the reach and power to achieve new levels of personal growth and the means to shape events, aspirations, relationships, and their futures in ways before unimaginable.  A career in ICT can open a lot of opportunities for young women.
