About Me
I am a product of the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) and Kwame Nkrumah University of Science & Technology (KNUST), Kumasi, Ghana, where I obtained my Master of Science in Statistics and Master of Philosophy in Mathematics respectively.
My interest in Statistics and Actuarial Science started when I was studying at the undergraduate level. My undergraduate studies provided me with a solid introduction to statistics. My outstanding academic performances, active participation in academics as well as extra-curricular activities, have helped me develop strong quantitative and analytical abilities, good communication skills as well as prepared me to handle complex problems. I received an Academic-Excellence Award in my class of graduating students at UTEP with a GPA of 3.92.
