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's 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 Ghana Custom's volleyball, 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.

I began playing volleyball in 5th grade at St. Mary’s in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin. It was there that I was lucky enough to have great coaches to foster a love of the sport and provide a solid foundation of skills. I began playing club volleyball in 8th grade. From then on I continued to push myself to play better as well as teaching my younger sister to play. I played on Newman High School’s JV team as a freshman and started on the Varsity team as a sophomore while continuing to play club volleyball in the off season. My senior year in high school, I got a scholarship to play volleyball for the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia where I started for all four years. Currently I continue to find ways to play volleyball through Women and Coed competitive tournaments.
