“My goal in pursuing my Master\u2019s degree was to become an international trade and investment policy expert. My main interest is in private sector development for sustainable business growth, especially micro, small and medium-sized enterprises. I want to focus on supporting governments to make policies conducive for harnessing the benefits of digital trade, especially e-commerce.<\/p>\n
My education has helped my whole family, as I now have more options in terms of what I\u2019m able to do in society: I\u2019m not just confined to employment as a lawyer. I have also developed the skills necessary to help people through civil society organizations and through advocacy work, and I have a better understanding of the needs of communities.<\/p>\n
After completing my Master\u2019s, I undertook a traineeship in Brussels for a year, and then began working as an independent consultant.<\/p>\n
I was nominated to the advisory board of Legal Issues in Technology, the flagship journal for the International University of East Africa in Uganda. The publication aims to focus on technology law and create a body of knowledge specific to Africa.<\/p>\n
I believe a mindset shift is necessary for the continent: I envision an Africa that thinks differently of itself in terms of development, an Africa that is able to take on the reigns of development. I hope to relate what I\u2019ve learned back to the African context, and adapt it for the African environment.<\/p>\n
In ten years, my goal is to have an established practice and be a wellrecognized policy expert, focusing on Africa. I want to be a role model and I believe in giving back and empowering other like-minded young women from different communities to reach their goals.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
