When I was a little girl growing up in Takoradi, dreams often felt like luxuries we couldn’t afford.
But I was curious and bold enough to ask, “Why not me?” Through sheer determination and incredible mentors who believed in me, I pursued and built a successful career in cybersecurity, a field that not has remained male dominated.

My journey is proof that where you start doesn’t define where you can go. My journey has been fueled by passion, perseverance, and the incredible support of mentors, mentees, and communities I’ve had the privilege to serve. At this conference, I hope to highlight the power of diverse voices in technology and policy-making, and the importance of building a safer, more inclusive digital future especially for Africans.
