Homemaker to Builder: My Personal Branding Journey

Through Python mentoring, beginner-friendly use cases, and personal branding workshops, I help rural school and college students build confidence, showcase their skills, and create opportunities. I believe students should start building their personal brand early because visibility leads to internships, freelance work, career growth, and lasting impact.
