I have a Doctorate in engineering. I have extensive experience in leadership, problem-solving, governance, research, collaboration and project management; I have initiated and managed programs to empower young people and had the opportunity to lead diverse teams, develop and streamline management processes, manage complex tasks that involved multiple stakeholders with varying interests and managed departmental budgets.
I am also a published researcher in various international journals, facilitator and speaker in various global and
National conferences
