What I'm looking for

I am seeking opportunities in climate research or meteorology, focusing on impactful projects that contribute to environmental sustainability.

I am a dedicated BSc. Meteorology and Climate Science student at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, where I have honed my skills in research and data analysis. My academic journey has been marked by a strong focus on understanding the impacts of climate variables on agriculture, particularly through my final year thesis on air pollutants and their sources in Ningo-Prampram.

In addition to my academic pursuits, I have gained practical experience through internships at the Ghana Meteorological Agency and Kotoka International Airport Meteorological Office. These roles have equipped me with essential forecasting techniques and hands-on experience with weather instruments. I am currently serving as a Teaching and Research Assistant, where I support students in Atmospheric Physics and Thermodynamics, further solidifying my commitment to education and mentorship.
