What I'm looking for

I seek roles leading environment, public health or HSE programs in mission-driven organisations where I can manage donor-funded projects, build capacity, and strengthen regulatory and M&E systems.

I am an Environment, Public Health, and Social Development professional with ten years of cumulative experience working across public and private sectors in Ghana, delivering multidisciplinary projects in public health, environment, e-waste management, social protection and design-for-efficiency initiatives.

I have led and supported donor-funded projects (including EU and SECO), served as Assistant Programs Officer on the E-Waste Management Program (E-MAGIN GHANA), and currently serve as Special Projects Officer and Health, Safety and Environment Officer at the Ghana Standards Authority, leading STDF/PPG project work and participating in GSA–FDA harmonisation efforts.

I bring strengths in stakeholder engagement, capacity building, regulatory enforcement, monitoring & evaluation, and technical tools such as SPSS and MS Office, combined with formal training including an MSc in Environment and Public Health and EOSH Level 3 certification.
