I currently live and work in Laurel, Maryland, but I was born in Kumasi, Ghana, West Africa. I am the eldest of four children and was the eldest grandchild in our home. My childhood was full of love and surrounded by both immediate and extended family members. I was raised to know I am valued and gifted, and that with God on my side, I can do anything I put my mind and heart to do. My parents relocated to the United States when I was thirteen years old in hopes of giving my siblings and I a chance for a better education with more opportunities. Both my mother and father value education and were willing to forgo their comfortably established life in Ghana to start from scratch in a country they were not as familiar with. Leaving their native land for the prospect of a better future paved the way for me to be who I am today.
