Originally named Regina Fremah Agyare, she completed her secondary education at Holy Child High School in Cape Coast and later graduated from Ashesi University in 2005. In 2012, she founded the Soronko Foundation, which led to the creation of Soronko Academy in 2017. The academy focuses on equipping young people, particularly women, with essential technical and soft skills, aiming to close the gender gap in the tech industry. By 2021, it had trained over 20,000 women and girls.
