Entrepreneurially inclined, I started a rabbit farm and Chicken behind our family home. The business was successful. When I moved to Australia for University, the business failed. I took away the lessons I learned through that experience. This led me to choose to study Finance with a Minor in Entrepreneurship and Management.
While in University, I joined the world’s largest student-run organization, AIESEC, where I learned how to manage a team, working with different personalities and dealing with failure. This knowledge empowered me to combine my passion for African development and business, and join CYALA - The Council for Young Africans Living Abroad; an African youth development organization as their Finance Director.
