She has eight years’ experience and is currently head of the Department of Psychology at Juba University, South Sudan. Her role involves lecturing and mentoring students to fulfill their dream of becoming quality leaders in South Sudan. Bena devotes her time to transforming the youth into charismatic young leaders. Managing a public institution has improved her communication and language skills, and has helped her to utilize the media as a communication channel advocating for peacebuilding and respect for human rights. She has two plans after she returns from the Mandela Washington Fellowship. One is to invest in girl-child education, which is soon to be implemented. The other is to develop a TV program for the youth towards transformative leadership, which will be viewed over South Sudan TV live from Juba City.
