I am a Ghanaian-American MArch student from Mayer, Minnesota, now entering my second year of the program. Before graduate school I studied architecture and anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania, where I became interested in the meeting of design, culture, and psychology as well as how community participation in architecture leads to more sustainable and effective solutions for addressing a community's unique needs. Outside of architecture, I spend my time writing music, writing stories, watercolor painting, drawing, and cooking.
