“The experience I got from participating in this challenge was rather new because prior to this, I had no experience participating in any hackathon of any form. I am grateful to my team lead who walked me through the whole process.
Personally, my biggest challenge was trying to overcome my shyness because I am not often outspoken. I have Vision Bling to thank for bringing me out of my shell. I was shocked when it was announced that I was the most outstanding participant, and I did not expect it. I think the reason I won was because of my charisma and passion for this particular solution. My sister also had that same issue, and if not for God, we might have lost her, I am glad that we have a potential solution that could save a lot of lives.
I was in charge of the design aspect of the project, and I have always loved to design. The laptop gifted to me would go a very long way in helping me further my skills in both product and graphic design. I have loved tech from the get-go and had wanted to study computer science, although that dream did not work out,  I am glad that Vision Bling has given me another opportunity to chase my passion, and I am forever grateful for that”
