User:Shafii

Introduction

My name is Shafii Issa Nillongo and my pronouns are he/him/his. I was born on December, 15th 2001 in Peramiho: a small agricultural village in southern Tanzania. I'm currently a freshman at the Pratt School of Engineering at Duke University. I'm deeply passionate about the environment and so I want to pursue a career that has to do with sustainability. I'm still undecided as to what I want to major in but as of now, I'm thinking of Environmental engineering with minors in energy engineering and finance/environmental science.

Name pronunciation

I go by my first name, Shafii and you will never really hear my second and last name unless it's something that has to do with official documents. It's pronounced shah-fee, cool right? I have no clue as to what my name means and google hasn't really been helpful. My dad says that Shafii was s a famous Imaam in the middle east around the 10th century and so he named me after him.
