My professional career kicked off with my National Service which I did at ECG with the
Engineering Directorate. After service, I did a postgraduate MSc. Economics (Energy
and Resource option) at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology
which I completed in the year 2018. In 2021, I gained permanent employment into the
Electricity Company of Ghana as an Electrical Engineer.

I am passionate about Engineering, Economics and Finance, and look forward to con-
tributing my skills and experiences to new challenges and opportunities
