Texas A&M University Graduate | Master of Public Service and Administration | First-Generation Scholar

🎓 On Barriers to Education for Burundian Americans
“The greatest challenge Burundian Americans face in continuing their education is the lack of access to accurate information. While this country offers numerous opportunities, many in our community are either unaware of them or face challenges navigating the competitive processes required to access them.”

To bridge this gap, Niyonsaba is intentional about sharing educational and career opportunities within her network. She also integrates learning opportunities into the Kerebuka Women Conference, helping women access critical knowledge they can then pass on to their children and youth—amplifying the impact across generations.
