About
Currently studying Urban Planning and Public Affairs in University of Illinois , Chicago. My aim is to be a social justice worker focusing on Immigration. I grew up in Ghana, Africa. Since childhood, I always had interests reading worldwide news, and so my interests in public affairs even grew up more when i had the opportunity to travel to US. In US, my experience as an immigrant in relation to other immigrants stories drove me to major in Public Affairs.In addition, I chose to study in University of Illinois, Chicago, because of the diverse nature of students and it has strong research centers that strongly deals Public Affairs issues. Latino Culture Center and International Students Club are the organizations I'm a member in UIC. I strive to make a difference in the Immigration scene or sector in any way that I can.
