As a child she was separated from her mother, at an early age of six, and lost her father at age twelve, the life lessons that her father taught her were her guide while growing up. He instilled in her the love of education, in a culture where educating girls was not considered important and the love of God. These values carried through her teenage years and helped shape her adult life and career plans of becoming a physician. She becomes a family physician and develops the love for medical mission, first in Ghana, then in Haiti after the devastating earthquake of 2010, then in Cameroon.
