BIO

Shallot is the third born to a family of four children. When Shallot was five years old, her father died suddenly and they went to live with her grandparents. Shallot’s mother couldn’t manage the family on her own as she was also ill. The whole family depended on agriculture and cattle. Shallot grew up in a community of old people which made her responsible and mature at a young age. She took care of her younger siblings and cousins, setting a good example for them and the larger community.  Later, when Shallot was in secondary school, she went to live with her aunt in Kigali.  

Shallot is studying Finance at Adventist University of Central Africa. Her biggest dream is to become a financial analyst. Shallot grew up with this passion and dream and thinks it is the right time to make her dream come true. She hopes this will also impact her community in a big way by being an inspiration to the next generation, especially those who may want to pursue a similar career. 

Shallot’s hobbies include cooking, listening to music, and enjoying time with her friends. Shallot feels happy when she can put a smile on someone’s face. She also enjoys listening to others and providing advice, helping people to make better decisions and solve their problems.
