As a university-trained musician, I was worried that I would have to start over in order to pursue a new path in Policy. Luckily, I found Nana through a University of Toronto alumni event. She helped me to realize a way forward that privileged my unconventional academic background. Taking into account my interests in sociology and equity studies, she pointed out strengths in my unique journey that were unknown to me before.

She took to my case with such enthusiasm and detail: the first time we met, she asked key questions that would help me narrow my interests, effectively positioning me for a Master’s in Arts Policy, and suggesting an approach to my application narrative that would lead me to stand out.

 I felt very confident in the decisions we made together through her extensive knowledge of post-secondary education, admissions processes, and career considerations particular, to the social sciences.

I therefore highly recommend Nana's consultancy, Ascend Consult, for all your academic and admissions advisory needs.

Nana Yaa was a huge backbone throughout my application to schools in the UK and beyond. She helped me greatly in writing the Personal Statement and making all the necessary enquiries that I needed to gain admission into International Schools. Thankfully, I got admission into three universities: Gloucestershire, South Wales and Dundee.

She was relentless and always available to help at any time. I really thank God for her life and sacrifices because honestly if it wasn’t for her, it would not have been easy.

Kindly trust Nana Yaa and her team at Ascend Consult with every help you need in applying to schools outside Ghana and I believe that with her knowledge and experience in school applications, you will be a success.

Nana Yaa Abrafi Foh has been a guide that enlightened me on the possibilities of a career path that aligns perfectly with my skills and passion. Meeting Nana Foh was a huge turnaround for me as she sparked a conviction of self-confidence and laid bare opportunities that will influence my growth positively.

Through her guidance and mentorship, my writing skills improved drastically which led to two offers of admission to the University Of Bristol (Ranked in the top 10 UK Universities) and the University Of Sussex. This is just to highlight a few end results of the numerous assistance she offered. Nana Foh’s mentorship has harnessed great potential in me. Not only did I overcome the shackles of self-limitation but she helped shape the right niche for my purpose. And that’s a superpower right there! 

Her perfectionist nature didn’t allow mediocre results, hence I learned to give my very best in all I do. Interestingly, I currently find myself in a capacity of shaping other people's careers, ensuring they have the relevant skillset needed to excel in their job roles. It is no doubt that her mentorship has helped me made tremendous achievements as a Learning & Development Administrator.

Now I am confident that no matter where I find myself, excellence is not beyond reach, i can and will definitely achieve it. Her ability to bring out the best in me, makes her the brilliant life coach that I think everyone needs.

I am extremely grateful for Nana Yaa's guidance in navigating school applications and scholarships. Her expertise and unwavering dedication made a significant impact on my educational journey. Nana Yaa's expertise in crafting compelling statements of purpose (SOP) and her valuable tips transformed my SOP into a winning document. Her guidance helped me understand what admissions committees are looking for and how to effectively communicate my strengths and aspirations.

With her support, I was able to create an impactful SOP that set me apart from other applicants. Her mentorship and encouragement boosted my confidence throughout the process. Thanks to Nana Yaa's assistance, I gained admission to my ALX Africa’s Software Engineering Program and secured a master card scholarship to alleviate financial burdens. I highly recommend Nana Yaa and her team at Ascend Consult to anyone seeking support in school applications and scholarships. Her commitment to helping others is remarkable.

I am grateful I got in touch with Nana (CEO, Ascend Consult). I really learned the most from her writing skills. I believe she is just gifted. She assisted me with a Joint Personal/Scholarship Statement- I was amazed by the way she scrutinized every word, line, vocabulary, and made sure my tenses were right.

It’s not surprising that a day after I turned in my application, I received an offer for admissions and partial scholarship to the Berlin School of Business and Innovation.  I’ll unreservedly recommend Nana & her Team at Ascend Consult to anyone who wants to travel to further their education.

I engaged Nana Abrafi, (CEO of Ascend Consult) on two occasions for assistance in editing my essays for College and Graduate School applications. On both occasions, I had a pleasant time working with Nana Abrafi. She provided me clear and explicit feedback on where and how to improve my writing. I loved how she would literally write out what the ideal sentence or phrase should be.

She would always ask questions and probe further to help me understand exactly what I should be writing and what I should omit in my essays. I always feel satisfied and more confident of my essays whenever I incorporate her feedback into my writing. Nana Abrafi’s involvement in my admission essays helped me to gain admission to the

University of California, Berkeley for my college education, and helped me to gain admissions for my Graduate School Applications.

I first met Nana Yaa in 2014 when I joined the Zawadi Scholars Education Fund Ghana. Essentially, the program assisted scholars to apply to universities abroad by supporting them with the application process. Nana was one of the first scholars when I joined the organization.

She served as a mentor and a guide to the new scholars. Specifically, she guided me through the essay writing process from ideation to the writing itself and review. I doubt my essays would have turned out great without her support. This is how I know that she and her team at Ascend Consult will be a great support to all applicants. What I loved the most about working with Nana is her friendly yet professional and dependable nature.
