Leading by Example

In his home country of Cameroon, Freeman Talla was taught the eldest child must lead the way for his siblings. The oldest of five, he said there has been plenty of opportunity to show the others how to build future success through a first-rate education and a dash of forward thinking.

Talla, who graduated from Kennesaw State University this month with a degree in electrical engineering technology, said his goals of becoming an engineer were set long before he ever stepped foot on the Marietta Campus. While studying at PKFokam Institute of Excellence in Yaounde, Cameroon, Talla discovered a passion to help others and crafted his career so that he could return home one day and improve the quality of life for his fellow Cameroonians.
