OUR FELLOWS
Theresia Jumanne Jumbe understands the value of mentorship as she has benefited from teachers who took an interest in her education and career path. “Growing up, I wanted to become a medical doctor, because I had an interest in science,” she recalls. When she did not get the required grades to enter medical school, her teacher advised her to reprioritize her choices. With this in mind, Jumbe applied for a Bsc in Home Economics and Human Nutrition. “Ever since, I have never regretted being in this field,” she asserts.
