Snapshot

Mentorship initiative for Nigerian medical students and early-career doctors exploring non-clinical careers.

The Spark

Medical training in Nigeria rarely shows students that a medical degree can lead anywhere other than the ward. I'd lived that other path myself and wanted to make it visible to people two or three years behind me.

The Build

Built the whole pipeline: a Notion landing page, a Google Form intake, and cohort groupings to actually run mentorship at scale. Then went further and built a Claude API–powered CV formatting tool, deployed on Netlify with a serverless proxy architecture, so mentees leave with something concrete, not just advice.

The Outcome

73+ respondents brought into cohorts — proof that the demand for this kind of guidance was real, not assumed.
