BRIEF SUMMARY
I am a doer! A vibrant youth who addresses problems by asking the question “why not”, and then attempts to answer it with a personal creed: that when we dare to believe our vision is possible, and dare to act on this belief, extra ordinary changes can take place. I always encourage people to start where they are with what they have.

I love mathematics and believe numbers keep the world sane. Currently I am studying towards a Bachelor of Science honours degree in Operations Research and Statistics with the National University of Science and Technology. As a volunteer I have worked with Bulawayo Youth Empowerment Trust (BYET) as Special Project’s Coordinator, Rotaract Club, and National University of Science and Technology Students In Free Enterprise (NUST SIFE). With the help of friends, we are in the process of starting up a youth-led Christian organization called The Faith Avenue Zimbabwe (TFAZ) which seeks to empower youth to Godly leadership through community engagement. I practice my religion according to James 1:27 in the bible, and believe it is everyone’s right to look after widows and orphans. 

Africa being the youngest continent, I strongly believe its youth are key assets of any community and particularly valuable players in the socio-economic development of the country. I also agree with (McNutty, 2005) who points out that youth are in a unique place in life, as they are developing their decision making skills, continuing to learn, entering the labour force, cultivating character and a healthy lifestyle, and learning to exercise their leadership. It’s a blessing to volunteer at IHAV as we share the same vision.
Currently I am an intern at Industrial Psychology Consultants where I am doing what I love; crunching numbers
