Current Occupation: Pharmacist intern at FMC Asaba, Nigeria.

Initial Dream as a young girl: I wanted to become a Medical Doctor, because I wanted to create and enjoy a relationship with my patients. And also a Pharmacist because I wanted to bring the cure to HIV/AIDS.

However I ended up being a pharmacist because I realised I could have all my dreams come true here.

Advice to young girls at the Community Girl Project:
You can be *ANYTHING* you want to be. All you need do is work at it and put your heart to it. Love yourself, continually build capacity, celebrate yourself, love others and most importantly love God!
