“I encourage students to continue to refine their God-given talents and relentless­ly pursue their career goals simultaneo­usly in order to increase their chances of living out the lives they have always envisioned for themselves.

In retrospect, my life has always revolved around formal structures and numbers which is why I have always deeply admired how artists are able to harness power to change the atmosphere in any room,” shared Mulela.
