Meet Dr. Rose Shumba (Head Mentor):
I entered tech full of doubt and without a roadmap. From studying agricultural economics to becoming a software engineer and then climbing to the position of head of a university CS department, my journey wasn't straightforward. Â
Over three decades, I have:
-
Created programs featured in The New York Times
-
 Mentored hundreds into top roles at Google, Microsoft, and the NSA
-
Earned the 2025 USM Mentoring Award and 2024 USM Elkins Transformational Professorship
 I founded the Tech Academy because I saw too many people—especially from underrepresented groups—facing what I did: imposter syndrome, lack of guidance, and no clear path forward. Â
Our mission isn't just about landing jobs—it's about creating lasting success through mentorship, hands-on training, and career-aligned resources.
Why I Started the Tech Academy
For much of my career, I felt alone. I didn't know what support was available or what career path I was truly working toward. My first tech internship happened almost by accident — not through planning, but because I had a high GPA and someone happened to call me. No interview. No roadmap. No mentor.
I started the Tech Academy because I've seen too many others — especially women, minorities, international students, and college-bound families — facing the same uncertainty.
Mentoring others isn't just something I do — it's the calling God placed on my life. Guided by my faith and God's purpose, I felt led to create what I wish I had: a clear, practical, and supportive path into tech, built on strategy, mentorship, and a deep belief in your God-given potential.
This work isn’t just about career advancement — it’s about stewardship of talents and giving back to advance God's mission in the world. I believe each person has unique gifts that, when developed and used with purpose, can transform not only their own lives, but also the lives of many others.
I've lived the gaps. Now I'm helping to fill them — one student at a time, in service to a higher calling.
