Blessing Kondo

Home Country: Zimbabwe
GW School / Program: SEAS, MS in Data Analytics

Blessing is a first-year graduate student from Zimbabwe pursuing a Master’s in Data Analytics at GW. She gained valuable interpersonal and analytical skills while working in the banking industry, which sparked her interest in using data to improve people’s lives. Her passion for community engagement has also led her to participate in initiatives that empower women and promote safety and inclusivity.

Having navigated new academic systems and cultures herself, she understands the challenges of adapting to unfamiliar environments. As an ISCA, she wants to be the friendly, steady face that students can turn to for help and support as they get used to life at GW. She knows how powerful small acts of kindness can be for someone building a home away from home.

When she's not studying, Blessing enjoys traveling to new places, playing board games, and unwinding with a good sci-fi movie or listening to a carefully curated music playlist. She also enjoys reading tech blogs in her free time.
