Why did you choose Daniels?

One of the most interesting aspects of studying at Daniels College of Business is its challenge-based curriculum, which allows students to work directly with real companies on live business problems. This hands-on approach will help me not just learn theory but apply it immediately in real-world settings, often using actual company data to develop solutions.

Previous Education

Master of business administration and Bachelor of applied accounting; auditing and information systems

Pre-Grad School Experience

I bring extensive experience in accounting, auditing and grant management with a strong focus on regulatory compliance. Prior to pursuing my master’s degree, I served as a grant management and compliance coordinator, following my tenure as head of internal audit at Malawi Posts Corporation. These roles have equipped me with a deep understanding of financial oversight, risk management and institutional accountability.

Post Grad School Goal

I aspire to become a data analyst consultant, leveraging analytical tools and insights to help organizations make informed, data-driven decisions. I am deeply passionate about transforming raw data into meaningful impact that drives strategic outcomes and operational efficiency.

Hobbies

Outside of work, I enjoy traveling with my family, exploring new places and creating lasting memories together.
