“I had to make a lot of sacrifices, I did not have much of a social life. But I think one of the key things was consistency because if I was not consistent as I was in my studies, I don’t think I would have done as well as I have,” said Renisha.

“There was a couple of stages where I felt it would be too hard to achieve these distinctions because of Covid-19, and lockdowns, and all sorts of things, but I am proud of myself for being able to push through.
