What I'm looking for

I’m looking to contribute to protecting communities and organizations by uncovering hidden risks. I want to lead integrity-driven investigations that produce clear, actionable intelligence—while strengthening outcomes in digital investigation environments and cyber-behavior analysis.

I’m an interdisciplinary vulnerability researcher and investigative analyst with 15+ years of experience conducting complex investigations into human behavior, systemic vulnerabilities, and high-risk environments. I analyze sensitive behavioral and social data to identify patterns and risk factors, then translate findings into intelligence-style, actionable reports that support decision-making.

Across the University of Gothenburg, Covenant University, African Public Health Foundation, Linnaeus University, and high-risk field programs in Sierra Leone, I’ve led investigative research frameworks, collaborated across disciplines, and mentored teams with a strong focus on integrity, accountability, and continuous learning. With 980+ citations (h-index: 16) and a PhD in Sociology & Social Anthropology, I’m now actively transitioning my expertise toward digital investigations, cyber-behavior analysis, and online risk environments.
