About

I'm a sustainability professional supporting environmental programs and capacity building across West Africa. Over the past three years, I've coordinated USAID-funded biodiversity initiatives, managed fisheries projects, and built networks with media organizations to amplify conservation messaging. My work includes designing MEL frameworks, training grantees on compliance, and organizing workshops that connect rural communities with international development partners. I specialize in translating complex environmental challenges into actionable programs. Whether coordinating young women in fish farming, supporting chimpanzee conservation communications, or facilitating stakeholder engagement, I focus on practical solutions that work on the ground. I'm proficient in project administration, data analysis, and remote collaboration—skills I've applied across NGOs, government entities, and donor-funded programs throughout Ghana. I'm building expertise in sustainability, circular economy, and regenerative practices across Africa. I believe environmental impact happens when communities have the knowledge and resources to lead their own solutions. Open to opportunities in sustainability program management, environmental communications, and conservation project coordination.
