[edit]Pre-Covid era
[edit]Before graduating from Gulu University, Manuel got his first job from his former classmate Opii Bitek Jibidayo who was a co-founder and manager of a youth led water drilling team. He served as the Accounting Officer for the company. During this time, he was talent spotted by Water4 who hired him as their Anglophone Program Reporting Champion. He went on to serve Uganda Small Scale Industries Association as the Regional Coordinator for Northern Uganda, a position that earned him recognition for exceptional performance in the association.
Covid-era
The pursuit for a new employment challenge took Manuel to the world of occupational assessment and certification where he contributed towards processing candidates for skills assessment and thereafter certifying them.
Manuel has currently enrolled for a Masters of Science in Climate Change and Development at Makerere University and is transitioning his career to solving the triple planetary crisis; Climate Change, Pollution, Biodiversity loss.
Personal life
[edit]Between August 2017 and January 2019 Manuel discontinued himself from employment to fix his heath upon suffering from Post-traumatic Stress Disorder that manifested upon the tragic death of his younger brother in August 2015.
Manuel pays allegiance to the Sudoku puzzle and in his free time he sets a 3min timer to complete a piece. Diet wise, he calls himself a BioActivist Consumer since he loves home made and plant based foods. Home made yoghurt is his favorite drink and recently he has found love in raw jackfruit stew.
