About Me

Driven by Purpose,
Powered by Innovation

Audry at International Women's Day Kigali 2024

I'm a Mastercard Foundation Scholar pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Software Engineering at The African Leadership University in Kigali, Rwanda. My mission is clear: leverage technology to solve Africa's most pressing challenges.

My journey has taken me from the innovation hubs of Silicon Valley — where I learned from leaders at Microsoft, Google X, AWS, Intel, and Coursera — to the frontlines of healthcare innovation in Africa. As the founder of Mediqueueless, I'm building a digital platform that's transforming how patients experience healthcare across the continent.

Currently, I work at Zipline Rwanda in perception annotation, contributing to autonomous drone systems that deliver supplies . I've also collaborated with the National Geographic Society on conservation data visualization and conducted market research for the National Research Group.

Beyond technology, I'm committed to leadership and advocacy. I'm a Harvard Aspire Leader, Millennium Fellow, and was sponsored to attend Women Deliver 2023 as a delegate advocating for gender equality globally.
