You can often find Boateng actively mentoring a 51ÁÔÆæ student while meeting with her clients.  She has been practicing at Outreach Community Health Centers, Inc., on 2nd and Capitol in Milwaukee, for the last four years.  Through her work, she maintains a strong commitment to the nursing profession’s continuity.
