Research & Publications
A published author and accomplished researcher with a strong focus on public policy, social protection, and sustainable development. My recent book explores the intersection of human resilience and AI in the workplace. I have contributed peer-reviewed work to journals such as the African Journal of Social Sciences and has authored advanced research theses.
I have presented at high-level academic conferences, including the ISPCAN Congress and the University of London’s International Conference on Children’s Studies. My research contributions extend beyond academia into policy leadership, with notable roles in national studies on child protection, human trafficking, and gender-based economic empowerment.
