This happened 10 years after she started studying Economics with Mathematics at the University of Ghana, Legon (UG).

As narrated by popular blogger, Edward Asare on LinkedIn, Sandra was unable to finish her program at UG successfully as it was not her passion.

“She wasn’t enjoying the course. It wasn’t what she wanted but she decided to do it because her Dad chose it for her. Her dream was to read Business Administration,” Edward disclosed.

Sandra struggled and had to rewrite lots of papers even after her peers had graduated.

She got tired, depressed, and gave up on the degree at Legon.

From there, the brilliant young lady joined Roverman Productions and started acting stage plays, which was when she realized that PR was her passion.

She applied to the University of Professional Studies Accra and started all over again and has graduated with first-class and valedictorian of her class in PR.

He had pursued BSc in Agriculture and was given a maximum of four semesters (two years) to rewrite all the trailed papers, which he did successfully.
