BRIEF
SUMMARY
An
enthusiastic, optimistic and outgoing young engineer, I always strive to work
on solutions to problems around me. Right from childhood, I loved to help
people and hated it when people’s rights were trampled upon, or when they were
denied what was duly theirs. I feel good when I help people overcome
challenges, and when I am able to solve problems.
I love
maths and science. After my basic education I passed to gain admission to one
of Ghana’s best female high schools, Wesley
Girls’ High School, where I studied
general science. I passed on from there to the Kwame
Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, where I studied chemical engineering. During my
university days, I worked with a team from the University
of Texas-Austin, on a community project to provide good drinking water and
set up a sachet water enterprise for a small community in Ghana. I also had the
opportunity to travel abroad on exchange programs, to engage in different
customer service roles to broaden my horizon, and develop an appreciation of
different cultures.
After
graduation, I received an award from the Unilever Ghana Foundation for being the best female chemical engineering graduate for
2011 graduating year. In sustainable development, i was selected as one of 100
outstanding participants worldwide to meet and dialogue on global issues at the 8th Edition of the South American Business
Forum in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
I
currently work as an assistant production manager for foods at Unilever
Ghana Limited.
