@Francisca_Chiedu Could you please tell me if this is a strong application or what I can do differently. Many thanks.

Your application looks impressive. It’s crucial to distinctly highlight your personal contributions, particularly where the provided screenshots or media coverage might be indicative of a group effort. To dispel any ambiguity, it would be beneficial to include Support Letters from higher-ups involved in your projects, who can attest to your specific role and achievements. While screenshots can showcase the outcomes, these letters will effectively illuminate your direct contributions to those successes.

All the best!
