PhD Student I am a first-year Ph.D. student in the Anthropology program, with research interests in rural development, agricultural sustainability, climate change adaptation, and environmental justice. My work is driven by a desire to understand how farming communities, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa and rural areas of the United States, adapt to environmental and economic challenges in ways that promote resilience and long-term sustainability. I hold an M.A. in Sustainable International Development from Brandeis University’s Heller School for Social Policy & Management and a B.A. in Geography and Resource Development with Archaeology from the University of Ghana. Before my graduate studies in the US, I worked as a research assistant at the Institute of Statistical, Social, and Economic Research (ISSER) in Ghana. I also served as Lead for Ghana, an education-focused NGO, where I worked as an assistant supervisor and ICT instructor, supporting efforts to bridge the digital divide in underserved schools. My academic and professional experiences reflect a strong commitment to producing research that not only contributes to scholarly debates but also supports practical solutions for equitable and sustainable development, especially in the context of agriculture and climate resilience.
