She came back to Kumasi and applied for a job as a teacher in a private school where she taught for a year; during this period I had another opportunity to take my juniors in the journalism school through the Akan news reporting because of my past experience.
The young, promising and budding talent never gave up on her avowed desire to become a professional in the world of Broadcast journalism. In 2011 she joined Emak fm in Koforidua as a news caster but returned to Kumasi after a year to continue teaching.

She is currently reading a Masters Degree course in Development Communication at the Ghana Institute of Journalism and in her words, “combining school with work hasn’t been easy but with God by my side I’ll keep pushing further and with that, I’ll soar higher beyond the clouds.
She aim to impact the lives of others with what she do and to also put smiles on the faces of those who look up to me in my smallest possible way.
