I’m an aeronautical engineer working at the intersection of advanced materials and manufacturing, with experience spanning composites research, aviation safety, and airworthiness operations.

 
I earned my M.Eng. in Aeronautical Engineering (Materials & Structures) from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), USA, and my B.Sc. in Aerospace Engineering from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Ghana. I also hold a business certificate from Harvard Business School’s Crossroads Emerging Leaders Program in Entrepreneurship in Emerging Economies and Launching Breakthrough Technologies. This further strengthened my entrepreneurial journey after founding Eliza Events, my registered event planning and management company.

Before graduate school, I worked in the Safety Department of PassionAir, where I served as an Aviation Safety Officer and Aircraft Technician. In that role, I worked on Safety Management Systems (SMS), Emergency Response Planning (ERP), and internal airline audits involving Dash 8 aircraft. I also interned with the Safety and Airworthiness Department of the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA). 

Beyond engineering, I co-founded Ed Emporia, an EdTech startup helping schools deliver hands-on STEM learning through kits, clubs, educator training, and The STEAMHub, reaching 3,000+ learners. I also co-founded GleeChild Initiative, a non-profit supporting 2,000+ children in Ghana with essentials that improve school readiness and retention.

I’m a Queen’s Young Leader and have been internationally recognized by communities, including the Society of Women Engineers (SWE), Leading Ladies of Aerospace & Defense, and She Leads Africa. I also serve as the Young Adult & Youth (YAY) Council Leader for the National Council of Ghanaian Associations (NCOGA) in New York, focused on mentorship, career growth, and community-building for Ghanaian students and young professionals.

An ambassador for the Akua Kuenyehia Foundation and Women in Engineering Ghana, where I mentor students and speak on STEM pathways, higher education, and purpose-driven careers.

Whether in the lab, on the shop floor, or in the community, I care about building technical, operational, and human solutions that hold up in the real world.
