Hafsatu was born in Sierra Leone and is the last of 4 children in her family. Her dad is a retired Information Technology manager, and her mom is an executive assistant at the Bank of Sierra Leone. Hafsatu studied mechanical engineering at the University of Sierra Leone and graduated with honours. She has always been interested in technology. While she was at university she interned at the Guma Valley Water Company, and after that at FINIC which is an Agri-Tech Company. She's currently employed at an engineering company called 'Track Your Build,' where she was introduced to drones and found out about the African Drone and Data Academy. Now she's one of the 26 students at the Academy.
