I am originally from the West African country of Ghana, where I have worked with various organizations and companies.

After high school, I started working as a team leader for the Parent and Child Foundation (PACF), a nonprofit organization based in Ghana. As a team leader, I led a team which worked with UNICEF in a project to sensitize the coastal belt of Ghana against child trafficking and child abuse from 2002 to 2005.

For much of my life, I have worked and interned as a sound engineer and a videographer for several televisions and a radio station in Ghana. I also worked as a news anchor at NET2 Television, producing and anchoring a youth and student centered syndicated television show called, CampusFile.

I am currently working with the PAC12 Network as a Freelance Broadcast Engineer and at the same time working with NBC's Local station KMTR as a Production Assistant.

I have a very diverse educational background that includes an international diploma in broadcast journalism, newspaper reporting, and media law from the Institute of Commercial Studies in the United Kingdom. I continued my studies at the University of Ghana reading political science, English and linguistics.

Since transferring here to the University of Oregon, I decided on journalism as my major, focusing in the areas of public relations and multimedia, realizing that I have been doing public relations work by having worked as a customer service representative and salesman for companies such as Wal-Mart and Kirby Co.

With my public relations degree, I aim to work in the health care industry. My passion tilted to public relations in health care after working with the aforementioned companies and organizations. Also, reflecting on my life, my biological father died of pneumonia, due to a lack of public health knowledge about the illness. I now realize that had there been some form of public education about this illness, it would have saved thousands of lives.
