What I'm looking for

I'm interested in work connecting ethnomusicology, music education, sound archives, research data management, and audio-visual documentation with culture, sustainability, labor, and environmental research.

I've supported international research on culture and sustainable development in West Africa through ethnographic field recording, audio-visual documentation, and research data management. On Cocooned in Harmony, I worked as a data manager and field recording engineer documenting songs of Ghanaian seine fisherfolk.

I design research repositories and data-management protocols, lead training workshops, and support teaching in music and communication courses at the University of Cape Coast. My work connects music, labor, environment, sustainability, sound archives, and Ghanaian highlife performance practice.
