previous mentorship experience

I have volunteered and mentored over 3000 young women and girls serving as operations director of STEMbees Organisation and Team Lead Assistant of the Accra chapter of the Google Womentechmakers and Youth Director of YWCA Ghana.

I am a GSTEP mentor because...

I want to be an example to other young girls that it’s possible to study engineering and technology and build a career out of it right here in Ghana no matter your background. I want to be a part of a change in our educational system that builds a sustainable program to help young students in Ghana.
