Wales at a ceremony held by the Honourable Society of Lincoln’s Inn. Patty will graduate with Distinction from the University of Law, where she pursued the Bar Practice, having also received the prestigious Dean’s Award for Excellence Scholarship.
Her call to the Bar marks not just a personal milestone but also a symbolic moment of cross-continental inspiration, an embodiment of academic excellence, social responsibility, and leadership spanning business, law, and humanitarian service.
“I see this as a continuation of my purpose, to use law as a tool for empowerment, justice, and social impact, especially for women and vulnerable communities,” said Patty.
Before embarking on her legal journey, Patty established herself as a transformative leader. As Chief Executive Officer of Exclusive Events Ghana Ltd, she spearheaded initiatives that elevated Ghana’s event industry and used pageantry as a platform for community change.

Patty currently serves as a Board Member of FOCOS Orthopaedic Hospital and Chairwoman of the Miss Ghana Foundation, roles through which she continues to advocate for education, healthcare, and empowerment initiatives.

International Arch of Europe Award (Frankfurt, 2017) and BID Quality Award.
Recognition as one of the 100 Most Outstanding Women Entrepreneurs in Ghana (2016).
Patty’s legal training has included judicial shadowing at the Business and Property Courts and Immigration and Asylum Chamber, as well as pro bono work at the Immigration Tribunal (Taylor House), reflecting her passion for access to justice.
