As a Lead teacher, she has mentored her students to take their studies seriously so that they can reshape their lives and have a better future. She ensured that club meetings were always full of fun and involved exciting hands-on activities. One of such experiments was on Electrostatic force, where students rubbed combs through their hair and used them to attract pieces of papers.

She has been transferred to Ofankor M/A Basic School in the Ga-North Municipality and is willing to introduce the club there to help her new students in studying STEM.
