Summary

  • I was born in a refugee camp in Burundi, and in 2018, My family immigrated to America, and while adapting to a new language and way of life was challenging, we successfully navigated those obstacles with determination and support. I'm proud of the strong, supportive people in my life who have stood by my siblings and me during this transition. They have been instrumental in my educational journey. Their encouragement have empowered me to thrive.
