About Me
Biographical Snapshot
I am the youngest of two children. I am a blue devil from the class of 2014. Born and raised in Ivory Coast, I am a Togolese citizen. I graduated from ALA (African Leadership Academy) as part of the inaugural class in June 2010.
My name is Dagbedji Fagnisse. Try to pronounce it; I promise I won't go mad if you massacre it. I also go by Deo (from my middle name DeoGratias). Please feel free to ask me about the meaning of my names if you see me around.
Academic Interests
I am planning to major in Civil Engineering as well as Public Policy. I trust both fields are complementary in designing and sustaining social systems aka communities. I love exploring mathematics and enjoy investigating physical phenomena. In addition, philosophy is one of those things I spend a lot of time reading about. All of this culminates in a strong interest in anything involving problem solving.
Hobbies
I enjoy singing basse in choir or vocal group. I play soccer, central back, not competitively though. I have fun debating and challenging viewpoints, starting with my own. I also watch and read action/adventure Japanese Manga.
