She decided to register a NGO, Global Health Voices in Chicago. The goal of the NGO was to create an online forum and repository for healthcare workers in developing countries to post research work and discuss tropical diseases and provide information about diseases and other health problems for the general population to access and be informed about their health issues.

Additionally, to provide online trainings and volunteers to travel to The Gambia and provide trainings to healthcare professionals. Unfortunately, this did not work out because she had challenges with finding the right people in The Gambia to work with and keep it going. But, she still decided to come back to The Gambia because she wanted to make a difference and she knew she could make a difference.

First, she started doing voluntary work for the Ministry of Higher education. She was analyzing their data and also worked with them on a world bank project providing support to the world bank team to develop surveys and analyze the data and etc. 

She also worked with GIEPA and became an executive member of Business Developer Services (BDS)for SMEs in The Gambia. She wrote projects for the BDS to get fundings from UNDP, which was granted and it kick-started the BDS.

She got involved in many different projects to understand how things work here. Coming back to The Gambia was a tough decision for her but, it turned up to be one of the best decisions she has made.

She has an undergraduate degree in Marketing/Business Management and a dual master's in Business Administration and Public Health (MBA/MPH). Also, she has a training certificate in Allied Health, business development and project management. She says that she is a lifelong learner and she believes in continuous development and improvement.

Her knowledge and experiences from abroad have helped tremendously not only in The Gambia but within the continent. She has applied her knowledge and skills to innovate services that were not available in The Gambia. It has also helped her to build a consultancy firm that provides consulting services to foreign investors in The Gambia and in the continent.

As a woman entrepreneur, it is hard. You have to deal with so many challenges such as social expectations, struggling to be taken seriously and balancing business and family life, the list goes on. However, she has learned that being a successful businesswoman is remaining true to yourself and finding your own voice are the keys to rising above the hurdles women entrepreneurs experience.

Her 5 years plan and business goal is to build one of the best workspace in Africa!
