About
I am an undergraduate student at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV). I started my college education in the fall 2020 semester. I am devout Christian who loves the things of God. I live in McAllen, Texas with my uncle and his family. I am originally from Ghana, West Africa, and that is where my nuclear family lives. I moved to the U.S to pursue my college education. I am pursuing a bachelor's degree in computer science. In the next 3 years, I would like to be developing software to be widely used in the world. I also wish to eventually pursue my doctoral degree and move on to become a professor. I enjoy reading the Bible, playing soccer, basketball and table tennis, and watching movies as well.
