Message

At Tamale Senior High School, I teach English Language across multiple year groups and use digital tools and virtual platforms to enrich lessons, assessment, and student engagement. I support students’ reading, writing, grammar, and oral communication, including through individual feedback and remedial support.

My postgraduate training in Social Change Communication complements my teaching with qualitative research experience. During internships with Northern Development Society (NORDESO) and Ghana Developing Communities Association (GDCA), I supported community engagement and documented farmers’ experiences and perspectives.
