About Me[edit | edit source]
I'm a physiotherapist from the beautiful land of thousand hills; Rwanda. I hold a Masters of Science (MSc) Degree in Physiotherapy, obtained from the University of the Western Cape in South Africa in 2010. I worked in different hospital settings and have a special interest in managing pediatric disorders and musculoskeletal injuries but I do also like raising awareness of the benefits of physical activity and health promotion in general.
I also believe that giving back to the community through outreach activities is the best way to empower people, specifically people with disabilities but also the poor in general.
