What I'm looking for

I'm based in Accra and available for remote, hybrid, or in-person full-time roles, consultancy assignments, and project-based engagements. I'm open to national, regional, and international assignments, with travel as required.

At the International Budget Partnership, I coordinated learning products from technical drafting through publication and dissemination. I also co-authored two learning notes on civil society-led public finance management reform in Nigeria's health sector and Senegal's sanitation sector.

At Democracy International, I joined the USAID Ghana Performance Accountability Activity as its communications lead. I developed its communications, media-engagement, advocacy and visibility strategy and created PAA ComsConnect, a monthly community of practice for nine local civil society and implementing organisations.

At The Cloudburst Group, I developed communications and knowledge-management plans for the USAID Ghana Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning Platform. I supported USAID Ghana's communications work and produced stories that made programme evidence accessible to non-specialist readers.

At JHPIEGO CORPORATION, I progressed from Communications Specialist to Communications and Knowledge Management Lead, coordinating country-level communications across donor-funded health programmes. I documented programme results through stories, photography and video, including two documentaries for USAID MOMENTUM Country and Global Leadership.
