I hold a Master of Philosophy (Curriculum Studies) with a special interest in Social Studies education from the University of Cape Coast. I also obtained a Bachelor of Education (Social Studies) from the same University. Before joining the Department of Interdisciplinary Studies in AAMUSTED in the 2020/2021 academic year, I worked at Foso College of Education for 18 years and attained the rank of Senior Tutor.
From the year 2016 to 2019 I attained the position of Vice Principal.
My research interest includes perceptions of curriculum supervision among curriculum leaders and teachers in schools, perceptions and attitudes of learners towards social and academic phenomena, and 21st Century Skills as Sources of Knowledge for Social Studies Education.
