Recounting her story, she shared that her performance in WASSCE was not the best, so she could not continue to the university. She, however, got advised to go to a vocational school, and she did.

After graduating, she started selling pastries and other food items to support herself, but business was not booming. She then picked up a role as a pupil's teacher in a school.

Evelyn realized her lack of passion for teaching, and the salary was also not encouraging, so she chose to hit the streets to hustle and make money with just GH₵50.

She started with doughnuts and then moved to other types of pastries and has since been successful.
