Dr Rose-Mary Owusuaa Mensah Gyening is the first woman to graduate with a PhD from the Department of Computer Science in the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST).
The woman and mother admit her journey to obtaining a doctorate in a science field was not easy especially because she had to combine her studies with raising her kids.
Announcing her academic feat in a post on her Facebook page, Gyening disclosed that despite the challenges, she was determined to make her mark.
Upon graduating, she has joined the ranks of women across the world who are pursuing programmes and careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).
Gyening credits her remarkable academic feat to God and her family who have been supportive throughout her journey
Gyening acknowledged that Computer Science is largely a male-dominated field but women like her are changing the narrative, urging women who want to pursue STEM programmes to keep pushing.
