I have an AA in Anthropology from Monterey Peninsula College and a BA in Anthropology from UC Davis. I miss the proximity to the ocean, which has dominated most of my life, but I am thoroughly enjoying all of the trails and rivers of Maine! After finishing my undergraduate studies, I moved to China to teach English. I lived in Shanghai for 4 years, which is where I met my husband and countless friends from all over the globe, as well as learned to speak Mandarin. While living abroad I visited Greece, Laos, Thailand, Hong Kong, and many cities and villages within China such as Beijing and Xian. My husband and I (along with our 3 cats) moved back to the US in 2021 so I could pursue a graduate degree. I am attending the University of Maine as a Master\u2019s student of the Anthropology and Environmental Policy program with the goal of understanding how human activity is affecting our climate, as well as exploring solutions to the global crisis. In my free time I love to teach yoga, read, bike, paddle-board, and watch The Office with my husband.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Afua Kwarteng is conducting work for the UMS Transforms grant<\/strong>.

I also hold an Exchange Students Program Certificate in Swahili from the University of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania, Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate and Computer Assisted Language Learning Certificate. During my time in Tanzania, I visited places like Mount Kilimanjaro, Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and Zanzibar. I enjoyed my time in all those places, made new friends, and ate delicious Tanzanian cuisines. My time in the US has also seen some adventure, and I especially enjoyed my visit to Chicago, Millersburg Amish Country in Ohio, Lexington, KY, and Cincinnati, OH. <\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I am currently pursuing a dual master\u2019s degree in Global Policy and Business Administration at the University of Maine, with the goal of establishing an NGO in Ghana to help less privileged children get quality education.

My Honors Thesis focused on the mathematics of queuing theory and writing an R simulation to model the queue behavior of a restaurant in my hometown that I\u2019ve worked at for the past five summers. In addition, I\u2019m an active member of the Society of Women Engineers, and I\u2019ve held multiple executive positions and traveled to national conferences in Indianapolis and Houston with the UMaine section. Overall, I\u2019m really interested in learning more about data analysis techniques and programs in my work. I love working with spreadsheets in particular (one might say I Excel at them), and I\u2019m known to create them for any excuse I can think of.
