I am thrilled to be applying for the Patoranking Foundation Tech Scholarship. This transformative program perfectly aligns with my goals and background. With a deep commitment to merging creativity and technology, I am driven by innovation and the desire to leverage technology for positive change in Africa.

Growing up in Monrovia, Liberia, I witnessed firsthand how financial constraints limit educational opportunities. Despite these challenges, I have always strived for excellence and aimed to make a positive impact. My journey has been defined by perseverance, resilience, and a relentless pursuit of knowledge.

During my time volunteering at Youth for Change Inc., their projects focused on empowering young people through educational initiatives like the Liberian National Debate and the After School Program. As a media lead volunteer, I gained a profound understanding of community needs and the importance of inclusive solutions. This experience ignited my passion to contribute to Africa’s development shortly.

Recently enrolling in the AI program at ALX fueled my passion for emerging technologies. This experience expanded my technical skillset and deepened my understanding of technology’s potential to drive societal change. The ALX program’s forward-thinking vision aligns with my aspirations to be at the forefront of technological innovation, particularly in areas that amplify underrepresented voices in tech.
