4I have a deep connection to science, healthcare and development. Because of these interests I intend on making them a part of the vision I have for Zimbabwe and Africa as a whole. I intend on using these gifts, talents and interests to better the health sector, get STEM programs and activities more involved in primary and high school learning and make the deaf community not a separate entity of society but a pivotal one that is well understood and represented.
