About Me

I’m Bubukho Mabandla, and am nearly 17 years old. I’m a student who tries to focus more so academically, particularly with STEM classes. I used to be much more meek but over the last year have grown to be more sociable. I love music, and physics enamours me. I’d like to study to become a physicist.

My Goals

I hope to either make it as a physicist in the industry or become a quantitative analyst or actuarial scientist as a primary job whilst doing any kind of theoretical research by myself separate from my job. Once older, I’d also like to possibly become a lecturer in physics.
