Can you share a bit about yourself?

I'm a passionate professional from Kenya with a wealth of knowledge in healthcare finance, especially within the African context.

One of my favourite projects involved leading partnerships with both public and commercial organisations to enhance healthcare access across the continent.

My journey in Africa has truly enriched my understanding of healthcare systems and offers me a unique perspective on bridging operational and financial gaps for the benefit of our marginalised communities.

This journey inspires my commitment to driving transformative change on a global scale.

What inspired you to apply for a scholarship?

My dedication to both my professional and personal growth motivated me to seek a scholarship at Warwick Business School (WBS).

I was particularly excited about how the scholarship aligned with my focus on promoting global perspectives, especially in the context of my impact within the African healthcare sector.

I applied with the aspiration of accessing Warwick's exceptional education while sharing my African experiences with the school community. I believed this support would enrich my MBA experience and allow me to contribute to and thrive in a dynamic academic environment that values diversity and change.

What does the scholarship mean to you?

To me, the Change Maker – Personal Impact in Your Sector scholarship represents much more than just financial assistance; it symbolises recognition of my journey, achievements, and potential.

It reaffirms my commitment to driving significant change and supports Warwick's mission of developing influential leaders, or “Change Makers.” With this scholarship, I feel ready to dive into my studies and actively engage in projects that resonate with my goals in strategic development and healthcare funding.

How have you been embodying Warwick Business School’s Change Maker values and impacting your sector/society during your MBA?

Throughout my MBA experience at WBS, I've embraced the Change Maker values by enthusiastically engaging in discussions, projects, and collaborations that foster positive change.

I’ve tapped into my experience to provide valuable insights into global healthcare challenges, highlighting innovative financing strategies and solutions. By taking the initiative, I strive to be a contributor who bridges academic frameworks with practical applications, sparking thoughtful peer discussions and mutual learning.

I'm also eager to collaborate and learn from my fellow students, enhancing the educational journey for everyone involved, including myself.

What impact has the scholarship had on your academic and personal goals?

The scholarship has made a tremendous difference in my life by alleviating financial constraints that could hinder my academic and personal aspirations.

It has empowered me to dedicate myself to developing leadership skills, gaining in-depth knowledge, and participating in initiatives that resonate with my passion for advancing healthcare.

This support has uplifted my confidence, placing me in a stronger position to advocate for sustainable healthcare practices post-MBA.

Do you have any advice for others considering applying for a scholarship?

My advice for anyone thinking about applying for a scholarship is to be true to yourself and highlight not just your achievements but also your broader goals for positively impacting society.

Scholarships are true investments in future “Change Makers,” not just financial aid. It's important to show how your unique experiences and perspectives align with the school's values and be ready to explain how you plan to make a difference in your field and beyond.
