She had previously gained coaching experience as part of the technical team at Thunder Queens, a Ghana Women's League club, during the 2022/23 season.
Reflecting on her journey when she joined Juventus Academy, she wrote:
"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.
