Born in Accra - Ghana on 8th February. I was a curious child (still am in adulthood), I was born at a time when gadgets for home were becoming a thing. As soon as i old enough to hold a screw driver i got more curious to know what made the gadgets in the house work. I think then my child self knew subconciously technology was goin to be the big passion and not law as I originally thought.
For as long as I can remember my dream was always to ba a lawyer but that changed after Junior High. It started with just one lesson in MS-DOS and then i knew i wanted to be in the technology space. Since then my entire focus has been bringing that dream to a reality. In High school my favorite subject was Information Technology and was ever curious to know all and understand how things work.
Staying true to my love for technology when the time came for me to choose a major for my Business Administration course, I chose Business Information Technology.
The class was exciting, frustrating and fulfilling. When I built my first program which was a calculator in delphi i was elated. It just made the itch for technology grow more. During my time in university, my entreprenurial spirit was born, I didnt want to just build things for myself but for others and have it impact their lives positively.
One fateful day in class two representatives came in to talk about Meltwater Entreprenurial School of Technology and instictively i knew that was the place to be. I knew there i would be developed into a well rounded entrepreneur.
Currently, I am an Entrepreneur in Training at MEST and i am enjoying every bit of this journey. The technology, business and communications class have helped me grow and improve upon myself. I am exposed to different cultures and its teaching about how to behave in various culture concepts. At the end on this program in 2016, I am confident that i would start my own company and impact the world positively even if its a small dent.
I think I am unconventional but the words which best describe my personality are ORIGINAL, KIND, HARDWORKING, DEDICATED and AVID. I have a great passion for technology, I am convinced that it would help me make an impact in the world. My greatest hope is to explore the world and experience different cultures.
