My goal is to impact my community by promoting the right use of drugs, and becoming a professional pharmacist is the first step towards achieving that.

BACKGROUND
Growing up as the sixth of nine children wasn't easy. My father, initially working at a technical school, later shifted to road construction in Shuuku town council. My mother, a housewife, supplements income through farming. Previous education was economically fair, allowing me to excel and secure admission for a Bachelor's in Pharmacy.
MY CHOICE OF STUDIES
I chose my field of studies because I had passion for my course and wanted to impact my community by sensitizing them about the right way to use drugs and I could beat achieve that by becoming a professional pharmacist first. I aim to collaborate with organizations like the National Drug Authority to make a nationwide impact. My focus includes educating citizens on safe drug use, discouraging self-medication, and combating the presence of unregistered drugs in the market for public safety.
INTERESTS
I love working with organisations and with communities too. I also love children hence I believe that sensitization of parents will protect the children. I also like playing handball.
