Biography
Biography: 

I was born and raised in Botswana. I attended premedical program at the University of Botswana before pursuing my MD ay St Georges University in Grenada, WI. I did my 3rd year clinical clerkship in the UK, in Winchester and London and moved back to the US for my 4th year clinical clerkships before doing back to Botswana for Medical internship. I moved back to the US in 2012 for Pediatric residency at SUNY Downstate during that time I developed keen interest in Neurology and joined Children’s Hospital Michigan after that for child Neurology fellowship.

I enjoy spending time with my family, playing soccer, traveling, outdoor activities, wine tasting and I am a fitness fan.
