I became an ATLAS Fellow to realize the dream and the sacrifices my parents made when they immigrated here from Ghana. ATLAS has exposed me to the field of business in ways that I would have never had the opportunity to on my own. I hope to use my knowledge to enter into and succeed in this traditionally closed-off field so that I can become a role model for other kids with stories similar to mine and inspire them to aim high. I want to show that one's identity should not be a limitation but rather a source of strength and motivation.

Condoleezza Rice once said that if she had been waiting for a black, female Soviet specialist role model to begin her career, she would still be waiting. I became an ATLAS Fellow because I, too, am done waiting. I am excited to be a part of a community that represents the diverse and inclusive future of finance. I am happy to finally have a community to look to for guidance as I navigate college life. And finally, I am eager to be the change and representation in the professional world that I've been waiting to see.
