5I would want to use my talents to train young people, especially the homeless so they could be educated and contribute to the society in future. Also, I would want to hold entrepreneurial talks to encourage people to go into creating their own jobs and making Africa great.
Golda is passionate about building supply chains that mutually benefit the community's health outcomes and economic development. During her undergraduate studies, she applied her business acumen to consult entrepreneurs in her community which led to the set up of three mobile banking businesses in her home country, Ghana. She gained relevant work experience in Pacific Savings and Loans and Verified Group of Companies in Ghana. She held the financial secretary position for the Inter-Hall Christian Fellowship at KNUST and has demonstrated commitment to giving back to her community through several initiatives, including organizing youth performing arts camp for children as a volunteer with the Salvation Army. Also, for two years, Golda participated in health, relationship and motivational talks in senior high schools and 4 villages. She currently volunteers at the Salvation Army social services that seeks to provide food and shelter for homeless people in and around Phoenix. As an active member of the Supply Chain Management Association at ASU, Golda supports her colleagues in obtaining future employment and internships, volunteers with the broader ASU community and takes part in professional development opportunities. She aims at aiding homeless children in their education in her home country and seeks for opportunities to apply her skills in supply chain management, economics and logistics.
