Summary
I consider myself as someone who draws strength from my training in the social sciences wherein I have learnt to place the social at the centre of both my research and in the everyday practice of my professional life. Given this background, I foster and encourage collaboration across a diverse range of social, political and economic actors to find durable solutions to the myriad challenges that plague society and the country at large. These come in the form of furthering social relationships and associations, promoting business ventures at the local level and cultivating purposive interest groups towards achieving tangible outcomes. Towards these ends, my proficiency in multiple dialects, acquaintance with diverse cultures and exposure to quality education equip me to navigate through multifarious predicaments that I so often encounter.
