About

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Political Studies with Honors from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) in Ghana (2017), and a Master's degree in “Politics, Economics, Philosophy” from Higher School of Economics (HSE) in Russia (2020). Throughout my academic journey, I have been passionate about political science, especially African studies, democracy, gender politics, comparative politics, political behavior, and anti-corruption measures. I aim to promote inclusivity, diversity, and societal well-being through research and advocacy.

After my undergraduate studies at KNUST, I gained teaching experience as a teaching assistant, covering Public Administration and Comparative Politics courses. This continued during my Master's at HSE, where I assisted in International Economics and Research Seminars.

I also contributed to research at the International Center for the Study of Institutions and Development at HSE, focusing on social security programs in African countries, particularly old-age insurance, health insurance, work-related disability insurance, and unemployment insurance.

Currently, I'm pursuing a Ph.D. in Political Science at the University of Alberta in Canada while serving as Associate Director for "Black Youth for Social Innovation" at the university. Additionally, I've been a roundtable guest speaker at the Pan African symposium during Black History Month at the University of Alberta, emphasizing the importance of decolonizing academia.
