Grace is the first female to rise through the academic ranks to the position of Associate Professor in the field of Mining/Metallurgical/Materials Engineering in Ghana.Recounting her story on the journey that landed her to this height, Grace said, “the journey has not been without huge obstacles including traditional definition of who a woman should be, societal demands on what a woman should do, family requirements of what a woman should have and intimidations from class/school mates amidst name calling like ‘witch’, obaa dendene’, ‘bayie’ etc”.
