Profile

I grew up in Zambia, a very beautiful country with one of the worlds’ 8 natural wonders (Victoria falls). I came to Ireland in 2017 and I started studying science in 2018 and that’s when I started volunteering with cell explorers. Volunteering with the cell explorers has been one of my favourite activities in college  especially because it has helped me improve  my confidence and making friends too. My favourite thing to do outside school is to experiment with cooking especially with traditional Burundi and Zambian dishes. I just picked up cycling, I was able to  cycle the Waterford greenway and now I want ride all the greenways in Ireland.  I Also enjoy reading especially while listening to music, I read mostly non-fiction books especially on human psychology and behaviours. I am not very active when it comes to sports but I do enjoy a good workout at the gym

My day  usually involves waking up around 7 o’clock in morning. The first  things I do is to pray, do some stretches and the then prepare my breakfast. After that I then do tidying up around the house especially my study table where I spend most time of the day. Most of my afternoons are spent on my table where I catch up on current affairs, social media and my favourite shows. After that I practice on  Portuguese for about 1hour, my aim is to be fluent in the language after lockdown. Then around 5pm I start to prepare my dinner of which I  get done by 6:30. It takes about 1:30 hours to get done eating and cleaning up. After that I relax and reply to texts and make some few calls until 9pm. I been trying to get into a habit of reading for at least an hour and half before going to bed. I am currently half way through a book called Thinking fast and slow written by Daniel Kahneman. This book aims to explain the two hypothetical systems of decision making in our brains called as system 1 and system 2.
