She also outlined how he has not only ensured his success but also hers too. “Today, I can say he is the one who made me have a name in Google scholar with few publications indexed in reputable journals. He taught me the essence of volunteering, collaboration, writing publications and provided objective internal review to all the articles and scholarship applications I’ve made,” she added.
