Debmarine Namibia Diamond Award for Science recipient and fourth-year medical student Yvonne Mvula was named the best student in her faculty for the 2015 academic year.
Yvonne performed excellently for two consecutive years (2014 and 2015). She is pursuing a bachelor’s degree in medicine and surgery at the University of Namibia’s School of Medicine.

“Growing up, my mother instilled in me the importance of being educated and self-motivated. She taught me the importance of hard work and to push myself to excel, and I have nurtured these traits throughout my scholastic career. My mother has always told me that if you are going to do something, you might as well do it well and I have functioned under that ethos my entire life,” said the vibrant 21-year-old. Following her achievements in secondary school, Yvonne was scouted by Debmarine Namibia as a candidate for the Diamond Award for Science.
