Franklyn Ikpa

Student/Engineer, GE Digital

My name is Franklyn Ikpa. I am 27 years old, born and raised in Portharcourt, Nigeria. I moved to the US four years ago, it has been one of the best decisions I made. I am currently a part-time student at Gwinnett Technical College and work at GE Digital as a Digital Operations Lifecycle Analyst.

In my leisure time, I like to hike, take long trips, play music, golf, learn about investments and discover new interests while engaging strangers in awesome conversations. I greatly enjoy the podcasts of speakers and thinkers like Earl Nightingale, Les Brown, Eric Thomas, and Inky Johnson. They have helped me navigate the complexity of life here in the states. I also have a love for coffee, and poetry of which I try to visit different vendors too. I’m curious and motivated more than ever and do hope to make an impact that turns out to be personal victories for those in need of such impact.

My new favorite quote: But a gift is a yoke to a traveling man. STING
