Be prepared to learn about yourself a lot and grow.

The first offsite I went to with the company in Miami. It was memorable because it was the last time I traveled before COVID and I got to meet everyone before we went into lockdown.

Reading, playing soccer, cooking (my favorite thing to make is this Ghanaian dish called Kontomire)

A cheetah – because I can run fast.
