In my future career plans, I aspire to become a civil service economist, driven by a passion for applying economic principles to shape public policies and contribute to the well-being of society. I am motivated by the prospect of using analytical skills to address complex issues and make a positive impact on the community. I believe prospective applicants can relate to the desire for a meaningful career that combines economic expertise with public service, fostering a sense of purpose and societal contribution.

Economics
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!
