My desire to become a pharmacist is : to improve the life of people in my community with their health issues, to grow in the medical field and learn novels technologies and explore my full potentials. As a child growing in Cameroon, I faced so many challenges from home, school, and by the Cameroonian government. I earn a B.Sc. in Biochemistry and a minor in Medical laboratory technology in 2008 at the University of Buea-Cameroon. I worked both as a volunteer in the health field and as a laboratory scientist. In 2010, I later travel to Brussels-Belgium, where I obtained my M.Sc. in Molecular Biology.

My Cousin die from drug complication; She was pregnant and wanted to abort without anyone knowledge so she bought expired drugs from “a buy am sell am”, and she died four days later. People in Cameroon are not educated enough about the proper application, and storage of drugs. Each time I helped someone, I learn something new about their lives, and created a good relationship with
