Biography

I am a mathematics faculty at Ashesi University in Ghana. In addition to teaching mathematics courses such as Precalculus and Statistics, I teach Giving Voice to Values, part of Ashesi's leadership core curriculum, and oversee The Fund for Service to Children and Youth, a program that supports leadership development through student community engagement. I direct the Berekuso Impact Study, a household survey aimed at generating time-series data for multidisciplinary research on the demographic and socio-economic factors of change as the town Berekuso transitions from a rural agrarian settlement to an urban suburb of Greater Accra.
