I’m Anjelina Manase, a Neuroscience student raised in the UK with South Sudanese roots. Growing up in an African household, Medicine was always encouraged as the ideal path, so not getting in left me unsure of what my future should look like. That experience is what inspired me to create LifeSci Connect. I realised so many life science students feel lost, lack guidance, and don’t know where to find opportunities. LifeSci Connect became my way of changing that. Alongside building it, I’ve grown interested in global health and hope to use my career to help improve healthcare access in communities that need it most.
