Due to her intelligence, she represented her school at the National Science and Maths Quiz in 2022.

Despite her academic pursuits, she couldn't further her education due to financial constraints. She took up a waitress job at a drinking spot, earning GH¢400 a month, to raise funds to support herself.

Luckily, renowned investigative journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni noticed her and, ultimately, changed her life.

On his birthday in July 2023, Manasseh used his social media handles to appeal for support for her.

Fortunately, Pecan Energies offered to fund her university education fully, and she's now studying for a Doctor of Pharm degree at the University of Health and Allied Science (UHAS) in Ho.
