" Following my curiosity above all else has enabled me live a more creative life.
I believe that young people are energetic and innovative once we are equipped with the right skills and exposure we are able to create sustainable solutions for our world.
Being a Millennium Fellow is an opportunity for me to challenge myself and grow. It is also a platform that will allow me to contribute to the Sustainable development goals focusing on good health and education.
As a young person being able to impact my fellow peers and in general my society in a positive way through the work I do is a way I hope to make the world better.
The Millennium Campus Network will also give me an opportunity to join other innovative young people and Create a community with them all over the world. "
