Department: Economics

Certificate(s): African Studies

Honors/Awards: N/A

Research Interest: As a prospective Economics major, I see the pivotal role of the study of economics in global development, especially on the African continent. My greatest passion is to be a part of economic development, especially back home in Ghana, and I envision that development through businesses which would, in turn, create jobs for the locals and decrease the unemployment rate. I am broadly interested in researching fiscal policy and government regulations surrounding business and entrepreneurship, as well as researching how agile and innovative educational approaches can play a role in economic growth.

Hobbies: I love dancing, particularly African dance. I also love learning to play gospel music on different instruments, and so far I play piano and bass guitar for my church, with drums as next on my list to master. I also really love reading historical fiction.
