Faith & service

The purpose I bring to my work.

My Christian faith, theological education, and Christian counselling studies are part of the person behind my scientific and professional journey.

Roots & perspective

Grounded in gratitude.

I grew up in Hawassa, with roots in Borena. My faith in Jesus has shaped my perspective and my desire to use the opportunities I receive to contribute to others.

I hold a Bachelor of Theology from Peace for World Theology College and a master’s in Christian counselling from Holistic Bible College. These qualifications sit alongside my biotechnology education and inform the values I bring to learning and service.

Science, faith, and attention to people are connected parts of my story. I want the work I do to reflect curiosity, responsibility, and care.

Giving something back

Helping learning
reach further.

I wanted to give back to the college that had contributed to my own education. Working with software-engineering friends, I helped propose and lead a digital-learning initiative.

The team launched a website and mobile application to support online theological study. My contribution combined project coordination, digital communication, social media, and marketing, alongside the work of software collaborators and college staff.
