As an accomplished statistician and educator with advanced expertise in quantitative methods, spatial statistics, and research methodology, I am passionate about translating complex statistical concepts into accessible learning experiences for students. My academic background combines rigorous training in mathematical statistics with extensive practical experience in research design and implementation.

With proven teaching experience in biostatistics and research methods for health science students, I excel at fostering critical thinking and statistical literacy among diverse learners. My 6+ years of professional experience spans statistical consulting, data analytics, and research methodology across healthcare and public health sectors. I have successfully reduced data errors by 95% through workflow automation and have expertise in translating complex statistical insights into actionable intelligence.

My commitment to academic excellence and student development, coupled with my research expertise in categorical data analysis, spatial statistics, and infectious disease modelling, positions me to make valuable contributions to academic programs in statistics, quantitative studies, and related fields across higher education institutions.

As General Secretary of the Ghana Statistical Association, Ashanti Regional Chapter, I actively contribute to advancing statistical practice and professional development in Ghana.
