My Origin

I was born in Mankon-Bamenda, the northwest region of the country of Cameroon, on the 21st of October, and I am 27 years old. I have established myself in the capital of Cameroon, which is Yaounde, but my family is in the West region, Bafoussam. I am the first child of my parents, and we are six of us, with two men, including me, and four beautiful ladies. I speak and write fluently in both English and French. I defended my Master of Science degree in Clinical Biochemistry and graduated from the University of Dschang a few years ago, and I am currently following a Ph.D. programme at the University of Yaoundé I. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmbVhx71WquzLmGs8YAcFPUCmZmDi8fAj9t8CbFoUjRxaT/img_20210801_wa0014.jpg) ^{A photo of me during my Master's defence} As a devoted researcher, I always stay open-minded so as to learn new things and gain more experience in order to share and help others. By nature, I am calm, relaxed, and nature-loving. ###

How I heard about Hive

It was thanks to the help and availability of @nwothini335 that I could join the hive platform, for I faced many difficulties when creating an account. Thank God he was there to guide me. I met him in a common WhatsApp group, and they were discussing about Hive. I was curious enough and was asking questions, and he was the one answering me. Before that, I already had knowledge of decentralised blocking chains, because I’ve been hearing about decentralised blocking chains without knowing exactly what HIVE was. What I hope to achieve is to be part of the top whales in the near future, aspire and help newcomers, as I received support from my friend @nwothini335. Also, I wish to share stories that I`ve created and narrated to me by my father when I was still a kid, share some posts on my drawing skills, and meet other artists like me. I desire to meet other people and be friends with them so as to share points about our culture and social way of doing things. Thank you for welcoming me and going through my post. I hope to enjoy myself here and to grow and help others so as to have a bright future together. Regards @fonjougiresse
