​I was introduced to volleyball at age 10 and about the same time as basketball. I quickly started to find ways to improve my skills and get ahead. My love for volleyball grew faster than I expected, I was 12 when I first played for my school team. It was then that I knew volleyball was going to be the best sport for me. I got drafted at the age of 15 to play for an adult club team in Ghana, and the following year, I played for their National Team. At age 17, I got an offer to play professional in Spain for Voleibol Almería Club. After a few years of playing there, I migrated to the United States to unite with my family and focus on my education.
