Due to her brilliance, she ended up at St. Monica’s Secondary School) at Mampong where she held positions like School Prefect, Science Club president and Scripture Union president while singing in the choir. Once, she completed school, she recorded her first album, “Nyame Honhom sane” meaning Descend upon us, Thou Holy Ghost.
