Located at the Timber market off the Tema-Afienya road, she has made strides in the field.
Speaking in an interview with YEN.com.gh, Kande admitted that she has faced setbacks due to her gender, revealing that people still think that the field is a reserve of men.
''I faced some challenges when I first started but I was determined to make it. I now have people that I train. It's not easy but people have come to accept that a woman can breakthrough in a male-dominated profession,'' she said.
Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh earlier reported two sisters have made themselves proud after earning degrees in Public Health and Pharmacy from the University of North Carolina in the United States of America.
In a post on Instagram by one of the sisters, Jiona Alexia, she wrote: "My sister and I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill yesterday!''
Alexia disclosed that she graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Public Health while her sister, Jade, earned a Pharmacy degree.
