“I am a girl from a village in Mafikeng, and I have always dreamed of becoming a scientist. I decided to study applied radiation science out of interest, I wanted to find out more about it.
When I learned more about nuclear energy, I thought it was the most fascinating subject and I decided to pursue a master’s degree in it. The IAEA MSCFP helps me do that, both to finance my studies and complete my research.
In the future, I see myself as an influential scientist who will work all over the world and especially in countries that are yet to have technological developments, helping them have better and easier lives.”
