 I've been the Executive Director of the National Computer Award for six months now. Prior to that, I've had around more than ten years of career in IT. I worked for Saridion for over ten years and then spent around a year and a half in the Middlesex University of Mauritius before joining the National Computer Award. Basically, the National Computer Award is a parasitical body and our mission is to empower people, businesses and the government in Mauritius. We also have the mandate to position Mauritius as a regional hub for ICD in Africa. To be honest, in high school I always liked science, not particularly technology but science in general. And then when I had to make the choice to study at the university, technology seemed to be a very promising sector. That's why I went for technology basically. So I studied computer science with multimedia at the University of Mauritius. I graduated in 2005 after which I went to work for Saridion. I started there as software engineer, mainly in automation. Then I was promoted after around five years to lead projects and eventually became a manager. And in parallel, I also did an MFIL in business process management for IT companies in Mauritius. I think when I studied at the University of Mauritius, it was quite a few years ago. We did face some challenges with regards to technology at that point in time. We didn't necessarily have the best of equipment and software licenses to work with. But that actually helped me to find my way through, to learn on my own, to stand on my feet. And yeah, when I went to work, I used that experience. I think technology is largely male dominated. We are not different from other parts of the world. I had the chance to work for global companies before joining the National Computer Board. So I've had the chance to see a little bit, which is in different countries. And Mauritius is pretty much the same. It's largely male dominated. It wasn't that bad actually. It's true that there were quite a few girls already studying technology at that point in time. I guess when it comes to working in technology, that sometimes girls tend to, let's say, not go for higher positions and more responsibilities. Well, the National Computer Board exists for 30 years in Mauritius. So I'm the first woman to lead that organisation, also the youngest. But I also think there's not been any women leading a public body in the technology field in Mauritius. So I'm the first one in a few aspects. Yes, I think a lot of girls tend to be scared of choosing those career paths because they believe it's complicated, because it's dominated by men. But I think we want innovation. And I always believe that diversity brings innovation. And so there is a place for women. They have a role to play. And so they should pursue their dreams. So I think I want to encourage girls to really embrace technology and science because there are jobs of the future. Technology is disrupting our lives. It's undeniable. And this is where the future lies. So I'm sure they can succeed. They can be very successful in both careers if they have the right determination.
