Karen Owusu-Boakye, a former student of New Juaben Senior High School, has achieved her dreams as a qualified chartered accountant (CA).

The journey towards realising her CA goal started while in senior high school, but it was not until somewhere in May 2017 that she officially took steps to pursue the programme.

Owusu-Boakye admits the process has not been a walk in the pack. There were bittersweet moments, she said. ''With determination and resilience, I persevered.''
