I want to save people's lives by making sure that any diagnosing machine is working properly.
BACKGROUND
I am a visionary girl with a lot to tell about my personal life. I was born and grew up in a village and raised by a single mother who solely depend on agriculture as her way of getting her daily income. This didn't hold me back academically and I was always among the top ten students in our class.
MY CHOICE OF STUDIES
The field of biomedical equipment engineering is still uncommon in our country and the number of girls who study it is still low. So I chose this field to deal with the shortage of technical knowledge in this sector, particularly in public hospitals where they have many disfunctional biomedical equipment, leading to poor medical services. I want to save people's lives by making sure that any diagnosing machine is working properly. My dream job is to become a biomedical equipment engineer. The job will enable me to improve the health services in my community and save the lives of many people, as I will be dealing with repairing dysfunctional medical equipment such as X-ray machines, ultrasound machines, microscopes and also testing the performance of various biomedical equipment at the hospital.
INTERESTS
Despite the fact that I have many personal interests, football come first! I love soccer and apart from that I also have interest in singing religious songs and athletic games.
