From Local Library to Global Impact

Sara joined the Fast Track Challenge with one mission: learn enough to return with tools her community could use.

But something unexpected happened—she fell in love with the possibilities. She signed up for Foundations. She kept learning. She kept sharing.

Even as she quietly fought through chemotherapy, vision challenges, and moments of deep anxiety, she stayed the course.

“I thought, I’m not going to make it. But I delivered something—even if it was minimal.”

And what she built wasn’t small at all. She created two health-focused apps:
One to support women with breast cancer, providing friendly, clear information in English—especially for those newly diagnosed.
And another, an MVP built with FlutterFlow, designed for women with polycystic ovarian syndrome.

She even presented her work at the Web Summit, where it caught the attention of health researchers and founders in Germany. One called it “valuable,” and saw potential to support patients who weren’t responding to traditional treatments.

Back home, Sara found herself invited into a 24-hour startup sprint—and joined every team. Marketing, dev, product. All of it. Because she could speak every language.

“I didn’t write a single line of code. But I connected everything.”

Her biggest shift? Confidence. Clarity. The ability to look at a digital problem and say: “This is beautiful—but it won’t work for this person.”
