Hi, I’m Kuda. I share my journey from a math student in Zimbabwe to an Actuarial Analyst in the US. My mission is to show you that with grit and numbers, anything is possible.
From a math classroom in Zimbabwe to actuarial work in the US.
I grew up in Zimbabwe loving numbers, but I had never met an actuary. The career felt mysterious. I relied on scattered internet searches and trial and error to figure it out.
My path took me to the US, juggling culture shock, money stress, and visas. I failed some things, learned to ask for help, and discovered communities that changed everything.
Today, I work as an actuarial analyst. On this site and YouTube, I break down what I’ve learned so students coming after me can move faster.
