First Class Honors

This year has been incredible for us in terms of getting exceptional performances from our students and Sallyanne is one of those students who has made us extremely proud. Sallyanne has become the first student ever since the organization started to get first-class honors! This is the highest achievement ever made by a post-secondary student.

Sallyanne joined Kabarak University in May 2018 and was admitted to the Bachelor of Mass Communication. She was doing exceptionally well in her studies as could be seen from her end-of-semester results. In September of 2021, she was attached to a local radio station where she worked for three months and December marked the end of her studies. 

In January 2022, Sallyanne was among the first students to join the TechMates program where she specialized in Digital Marketing. She has since been creating content for both the NRCF and FoNR websites as well as managing the content on both social media pages and she helps in training new Digital Marketing TechMates who join the program. It is from the program that she got an opportunity to work with Lido Nation which is a Cardano staking pool. She works for Lido Nation as a content writer, a website translator, a social media manager and she is also a trainer for mentees who would like to learn more about Blockchain. The greatest highlight of working for Lido Nation was when she became a co-proposer in a proposal that got funded.

Sallyanne graduated on the 16th of December 2022 making her a journalist by profession. She received an award during the annual AGM as the first student to get first-class honors. Her role model is Larry Madowo and she hopes to become an equally great journalist. She has set the pace for our post-secondary students and we hope that many will follow suit. Congratulations Sallyanne!
