I am a Senior Lecturer at the Department of General and Liberal Studies, School of Basic and Biomedical Sciences at the University of Health and Allied Sciences (UHAS) in Ho, Ghana. I was educated at the University of Cape Coast, Ghana where I obtained a B.A. degree in African Studies in 2010. I later pursued further studies at University of Ghana where I obtained a Master of Philosophy degree in African Studies in 2013 and a PhD in African Studies from the same university in 2022.

My PhD research was titled: Shrines and healing in the Kete-Krachi area: The case of Dente at the Institute of African Studies, attracted the PhD Thesis Completion Grant from the University of Ghana BANGA-Africa 3 Carnegie Project and a grant from the Mellon Project on ‘Decolonisation, the Disciplines and the University.’

With a special interest in Health Anthropology, my cutting-edge research focuses on African belief systems and health, the Environment, Indigenous Knowledge Systems and Health Delivery Practices and Pan-Africanism and Healthcare. I have also conducted research into traditional educational system and women’s empowerment through a female cult. I took part in research on Women’s cult in Northern Ghana, a project funded by University of London.  I participated and presented papers in many Seminars and International conferences in Ghana and Nigeria respectively. 

I have contributed enormously to the development of two programmes for the School of Basic and Biomedical Sciences in UHAS; Mphil in Applied Medical Anthropology and BSc. Health Anthropology, with the former in the process of approval by the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission. I am a member of the School of Basic and Biomedical Sciences’ Admissions Committee and the Quality Assurance Coordinator for the Department of General and Liberal Studies in UHAS. I was the former Coordinator of African Studies Unit and I have mentored many undergraduate students in the School of Basic and Biomedical Sciences over the past nine years.
