I was born in 1992 in Dakar, Senegal. I have been raised in Senegal by Senegalese parents. My parents were convinced that education was the key to success and they early encouraged us to pursue high studies. After high school, I decided to follow an electrical engineering career. Electricity has a major role in a country development, and I wanted to be part of it. The journey was not and is still not easy. I didn't ascend to opportunities because of my gender but today I am happy to see that things are changing, and women can pretend to high positions in energy sector. I am now managing the transmission system planning division in Senelec (Senegal national utility) and my main goal is to make sure that the evolution of the grid will allow energy to be sufficiently transmitted to customers. I am happy to be part of this experience and I hope my story will inspire young ladies.
