Who am I:
By grace I am a daughter of the Almighty God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Psalm 139: 13 & 14). A daughter of a Motswana father and Sotho mother; a wife; a mother and a servant of the community as the Lord grants.
In service to the University of Botswana:
My heart beats for the well being of students and so in serving my profession I am a UBFoM educator and facilitator in Microbiology (teaching and research) within the Department of Biomedical Sciences. I am part of a team that also supports student learning as and when required by the Department of Medical education. I am blessed to be part of a budding but dedicated unit that provides Student Support to UBFoM students.
I am honoured to be a 'local product' of the University of Botswana, as a former undergraduate and post graduate science student and now as a staff member.
