We all have a purpose in life. Each day I read the following because of my life's purpose: "Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes… the ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules… You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things… they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.” Apple Ad. This is what keeps me motivated to make a difference in my society and country.
Born in Ghana, Raised in South Africa lived in South Korea and UK. I consider myself a citizen of the world. I love my country Ghana! I'm a social entrepreneur which is described as "individuals with innovative solutions to society’s most pressing social problems. They are ambitious and persistent, tackling major social issues and offering new ideas for wide-scale change. Rather than leaving societal needs to the government or business sectors, social entrepreneurs find what is not working and solve the problem by changing the system, spreading the solution, and persuading entire societies to take new leaps."

I completed my undergraduate degree majoring in Economics, Corporate Finance and Investments (Business Finance) from the University of the Witwatersrand,Johannesburg, South Africa. I am currently in my final year at Ghana's Institute of Management and Public Administrations doing my Masters in Developmental Management, My research is on Development of Ghana through Youth Empowerment and Entrepreneurship.
