I am a second year Economics student in Stephenson College at Durham University. I am originally from Portugal, although I moved to Manchester when I was 6 years old with my parents and twin brother. I am the first in my family to go to uni so being at Durham has been a really great experience!!!
I am captain of one of my college's badminton teams, as well as the Treasurer for my college's JCR so I really like getting involved with events at college level although in general I love trying new things at uni.

Hey there!
I’m Temwani – great to meet you!
I’m a second-year international student at the University of Essex (Colchester Campus), originally from the vibrant country of Zambia. My educational journey has taken me across Southern Africa, with my O Levels in Zimbabwe and A Levels in South Africa, giving me a rich and diverse perspective both inside and outside the classroom.
Beyond my academics, I’m passionate about sports, fitness, wellness, entrepreneurship, and community engagement—I believe in living a balanced life and giving back to those around me. I currently live off-campus, which has given me the chance to explore the local community and meet people from all walks of life.
My academic interests lie in economics, finance, and business advisory, where I aspire to build a fulfilling career that makes a real impact. I’m always eager to learn, grow, and connect with like-minded individuals.
Got questions? Curious to chat or collaborate? Feel free to send me a message!
