This is my Story: I am a publishing professional by training but my quest to sell started at an early stage in life where I used to help my Auntie run her pharmacy. After my formal education in the university, I found myself in the sales industry and I worked for 6 years as a salesperson. Back at school fresh yogurt was my energy booster whenever I wasn't feeling well. I remember after school I introduced it to my family and a close member who was diabetic saw a drastic change in his health after taking if for a while. I attended Dormass L/A primary school to JSS. I had my high school education at Sunyani Secondary School (SUSEC)and completed in 2004. In 2006 I went to KNUST for a bachelor’s degree in publishing studies. After completing in 2010 and completing my national service, I worked with Vodafone Ghana on contract for a year as Customer Service Executive and proceeded to be an office manager for one of its distributing partners. Moving on in 2012 I joined PZ Cussons - one of the leading and old multinational companies in Ghana first as a graduate trainee and later got promoted to Assistant Manager after 2years. In 2018 I left PZ Cussons to become a stay-at -home -mom to have time for my kids as planned with my husband. Being a stay-at-home mom and sometimes bored at home when the kids go to school birthed the idea of starting a business called Hearty Delight Foods. After planning and thinking through with my husband and family and the fact that fresh yogurt was a stable food in my family made it easier for me to build a business around that niche. I went to learn the skills of producing, branding and marketing and in 2021 I launched Hearty Delight Foods with our first products called "Hearty Yogurt" as a startup company, and it’s been amazing with the support of friends and family.
