I completed an undergraduate degree in Health Sciences in 2014 (University for Development Studies, Ghana), an MPH in Population and Reproductive Health in 2018 (Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Ghana), and an MSc in Demography and Health in 2020 (London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, London). My doctoral research focuses on the long-term effects of breastfeeding and early childhood exposures on cognitive development and educational achievement.
