BACKGROUND
I am the oldest child in a family of five children living in Kagera region, Tanzania. My family typically runs small businesses as a source of income. I completed my high school education in public schools and earned grades for a college education.
MY CHOICE OF STUDIES
I want to support people to improve their health by providing expert nutrition and dietary advice. Also, to be able to promote a balanced lifestyle and improve people’s diets, while helping them to keep a healthy weight, boost their immune system, increase their energy levels, and reduce the risk of developing certain diseases. All of these can lead to a stronger nation. My dream is to become a nutritionist who can solve various nutritional problems that exist in my society. The nutritional problems I would like to identify include undernutrition and overnutrition, according to a survey, as of November 2021, 31.8% of children under the age of five in Tanzania have suffered from chronic malnutrition. These things cause growth failure in infants, so I would like to work on reducing them.
INTERESTS
My interests are: watching movies, reading books with inspiring stories and cooking.
