What brought you to a career in technology at the United Nations?

I started My Career with UNON as an ICT service desk Agent

What has been your favorite technology project or initiative at the United Nations and why? What was your contribution?

I have been part of several IT projects before but If there is a valuable project, I was part and proud to have successfully delivered would be during my time at UNON preparing for telecommuting just after COVID 19 became present in our country. This basically included ensuring each staff had access to VPN and that all systems could be accessed remotely. My role in this project entirely involved cisco jabber configuration, an all-in-one communication tool that provides collaboration application between the office cisco phone and the mobile phone, therefore ensuring normal communication for the not less than 1000 cisco jabber users at the united nations office. This is not limited to the application support as well.

What advice would you give women interested in pursuing a field in technology?

I believe It is always a Win for society when Women break the bias and defer the odds to pursue the not so 'male dominated field'. I am Especially encouraged when I come across women who are remarkably innovative . I am quite passionate about encouraging and helping young women bring out their brilliant ideas in Tech and birth incredible problem-solving creations.
