History
Thee spirit behind Rockhurst University was born in 1521, when a Spanish soldier took a cannonball in the leg at Pomplona. That soldier, later to be known as St. Ignatius of Loyola, used his recovery period to develop his spirituality and approach to life. That new spirituality led to the formation of the Society of Jesus.

Review and Feedback
My experience is rooted in education, community development, and climate action. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Education (Biology and Chemistry) from Kibogora Polytechnic and spent five years teaching at GS Rwimiyaga in Nyagatare District, where I strengthened my skills in learner-centered teaching and mentorship. In parallel, I have over five years of experience as a Program Officer with Digital Opportunity Trust (DOT) Rwanda, coordinating digital skills training, managing stakeholders, supporting youth and entrepreneurs, and leading teams across multiple districts. I am also the co-founder of We Got Your Back NGO, where I lead eco-education, reforestation, and community climate action initiatives that have reached thousands of students, parents, and community leaders. Through these roles, I have gained strong experience in project management, leadership, community engagement, and sustainability, and I am motivated to continue using education and innovation to drive inclusive and lasting impact in Rwanda and beyond.
I have a descent student life but great exposure
Yes, I have had a good opportunity to explore and learn during my academic Journey. I have participated in different hackathons and research projects. I love technology, and during my academic journey, the university gave me good exposure to different technologies, student life, and diversity.
