What activities/extracurriculars are you involved in? I sing in Kindred Spirit, the Christian A Capella group, I’m on the board of Akwaaba, Princeton’s African students association, which involves a lot of event planning and I’m on the industry insight team of the Princeton Corporate Finance Club, covering the Africa region.

If you could bring 3 things with you to a desert island, what would they be?
Writing materials. It is very important for me to have avenues to express myself at all times. 
Poland Spring water (the best water on earth – in my opinion) … obviously I will have to stay hydrated.
My Camera: I might as well capture the beautiful moments while I am there … there might be some cool patterns on the sand for me to take pictures of hehe.
