From An Office Cleaner To A Medical Scientist, Meet Dr Eurika Mogane

SHE FINALLY MADE IT!!!

From an office cleaner to a Medical Scientist.

Meet – Dr Eurika Mogane Jones, inspirational Medical Scientist and Internationally Accredited Nutritional Therapist, she started off working as an office cleaner to raise her tuition fees and put food on the table.

Against all odds, she graduated with a Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree in Medical Sciences and completed a Neuroscience: Sports Vision Testing and Training certificate from the University of Pretoria, South Africa.

“While studying, I had to dropout of university and return home due to lack of finances. I volunteered at several offices in Mbombela, going from office to office, seeking any opportunity. I got an opportunity to be an office cleaner at a company in Mbombela.

Soon after my office work, I got an offer to work with the Cancer Association of South Africa and became one of the youngest African female provincial managers overseeing the Mpumalanga province.”

“I was even offered an opportunity by Duke University to complete a Medical Neuroscience course, and a Diploma in Sports Medicine with the FIFA Medical Network.

Online learning became a key focus area for me. I could still do research and offer support where needed. I also hold qualifications in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and an Honorary Doctorate from one of the Universities from the UK,” said Dr Mogane-Jones.

Dr Eurika Mogane-Jones is the founder of Tharika M Health, a Medical Nutritional Therapy Healthcare facility that focuses on using food to prevent and reverse diseases such as; diabetes, obesity, heart disease, arthritis, and depression.

She is also a philanthropist at heart, in 2020 she was part of the partners who assisted in offering community support (food parcels, boreholes, new homes, clothing, etc.) to more than 6 000 families in the Mpumalanga area.

In 2021, she was selected by the Golden Key International Honorary Society as the winner of the Outstanding Member Award.
