Can you tell us a little bit about your background?
I am from Harare, Zimbabwe. I grew up in a low-income family that worked hard to take me through half of High School where I later got a merit scholarship to finish off High School and eventually got admitted into Kalamazoo College with a full scholarship.
How was your life impacted by COVID-19?
I lost some opportunities planned out and also got extra financial responsibility. I am the only one in the family making an income right now.
Tell us about the company you are interning for and what have you been working on.
I have been working at The Labz in fixing minor bugs in the main application. I have loved the Glimpse experience.
What are some goals for a future career?
I want to be a Software Engineer or Quantitative Analyst and eventually go into entrepreneurship.
Who are your role models/ inspires you? Why?
Myself, my struggles push me harder.
What do you consider your superpower?
I can handle insurmountable pressure and I have unfounded persistence and a great fight within me.
