What I'm looking for

I seek entry to mid-level roles in urban or physical planning where I can apply surveying, data collection, and planning skills within collaborative, impact-driven teams focused on sustainable urban development.

I am a final-year BSc Development Planning student at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology with practical experience in land surveying, permit processing, and campus electoral oversight. I bring hands-on internship experience from the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly Physical Planning Department and leadership roles as an electoral commissioner and class representative.

My work has included field measurements, boundary demarcation, data collection using geodetic tools, maintaining land records, financial calculations for departmental budgets, and drafting administrative reports. I have supervised multiple campus elections, ensuring transparent and peaceful transitions of student leadership.

I am comfortable with data tools such as KoboCollect and SPSS, and I have completed certificates in data science basics, finance basics, circular economy, design thinking, and sustainable urban mobility. I am a collaborative communicator, adaptable team player, and motivated to apply planning and data skills to sustainable urban development projects.
