Jelly Chang’a chose to study veterinary medicine on the advice of a friend, who suggested it was a promising field with good job prospects. As one of only four female students in a class of 34, she proved to be a determined trailblazer.
Veterinary science requires a strong commitment; the initial bachelor’s degree training takes five years and is quite demanding,” says Chang’a. “Many women are reluctant to enter the field, but I encourage them to try, because it is very interesting—and very rewarding.
Field of Research
I am inspired by research and its capacity to develop farmeroriented innovations and technologies that are economically, socially, and environmentally acceptable. This is how we will help drive Tanzania’s Green Revolution.
