Background and education


She was born on 1 November 1989 in Arua, West Nile sub-region, in the Northern Region of Uganda, to a family with a total of seven children. She attended Awindiri Primary School, in Arua. She studied at Mvara Secondary School, also in Arua, for both her O-Level and A-Level studies. She was admitted to Nkumba University, where she obtained a Diploma in Development Studies, graduating in 2010. That same year, she was admitted to Uganda Christian University (UCU) in Mukono, where she obtained a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degree in 2013.[1] In 2014, she received a full scholarship to study for a Master of Business Administration (MBA) at UCU.[5] In 2017, she enrolled in the Master of Science (MSc) degree program at the Loughborough University, specializing in marketing.[6]



Career


In 2015, she tried out with professional teams in the United Kingdom and was able to secure a trial contract with Loughborough Lightning in the winter and spring of 2015. In January 2016, she was signed to a full contract for the 2016 and 2017 seasons.[7] After playing for Loughborough Lightning in 2015 and 2016, Proscovia re-signed for a further two years following changes in visa regulations.[8] As part of her new contract she enrolled in the Master of Science degree program at the Loughborough University School of Business and Economics, with a focus on marketing.[6]


Proscovia will make the move to Australia and play for the Sunshine Coast Lightning in the 2019 season, an acquisition described by the club as "a massive coup".[9]
