Bio

Education has always been a fundamental part of my journey, especially as an immigrant from Ghana to the United States. The move opened up a world of opportunities I had never imagined. However, it also presented a significant challenge—without formal education, a command of English, or familiarity with the American way of life, I initially struggled to find my footing. Through perseverance, resilience, and unwavering motivation, I was able to overcome these obstacles and become the first in my family to receive a formal education. This experience has fueled my passion for learning and inspired me to pursue opportunities that allow me to give back and make a meaningful impact.
