BACKGROUND
I was born in Siha district in Kilimanjaro region and brought up in a humble family. I have two sisters. My mother is a small scale farmer and my father was a small scale farmer too until he died in April 2020.
I received my secondary education here in Kilimanjaro and proceeded to my A-level studies at Msalato secondary School.
MY CHOICE OF STUDIES
My mother suffered from cancer when I was 13 years old. I witnessed how the disease harmed here and I witnessed the treatment process until she recovered. After seeing that, I decided to become a doctor so that I could treat and help people. I want to be a missionary doctor because I would love to move from place to place treating the sick and poor and giving them hope and love.
I'd also love to specialise in obstetrics and gynecology.
INTERESTS
I love to serve, thus I serve in my local church where I help with cleaning and organizing. I also sing in the choir.
I'm an avid reader, thus I spend a lot of my time reading books and novels. I like learning new skills, thus I spend my time learning how to work a computer, preparing a new dish, creating anything with my hands or learn communication skills.
