"I’m excited to share that I’ve joined Juventus Academy Ghana. While my aspiration to become a professional footballer faced setbacks, I shifted gears into coaching five years ago. It’s been a journey of growth and impact. Thank you."

Her coaching path began in October 2024, when she enrolled in the License D course alongside former Asante Kotoko defender Amos Frimpong and Jordan Opoku.
