Mercy Chimezie

  • Scholar-elect
  • Nigeria
  • 2025 MPhil Management
  • Downing College

Growing up in Nigeria instilled in me a strong passion for advancing food security and expanding access to quality education for children in underserved communities. My interest in agriculture is driven by its potential to empower smallholder farmers and strengthen the economy, while my commitment to education is rooted in its power to transform lives and break cycles of poverty. At Ashesi University, where I studied Computer Science, I developed strong problem-solving skills and an ethical, entrepreneurial mindset. Through my undergraduate experience, I came to understand that creating sustainable impact also requires a solid foundation in business and management.At Cambridge, I will pursue an MPhil in Management to prepare myself as a business leader who leverages technology to drive meaningful, scalable change in agriculture and education. I am deeply honored to join the Gates Cambridge community and to collaborate with scholars committed to improving the lives of others around the world.
