I am a geographer with significant expertise in the higher education sector, in teaching, research and development. I am willing to contribute my experience in teaching, research and development to education, research and policy development. Trained in community development, environment, and resource management, my research is interdisciplinary and spans across areas such as wellbeing, migration, climate change (adaptation and loss and damage), natural resource management, and indigenous knowledge systems. My focus has been to contribute data and knowledge so that policy makers may take to ensure the quality of life of people, especially in developing countries. My research has been empirically driven by fieldwork and both secondary data and primary qualitative and quantitative data collection in sub-Saharan African. I am highly skilled in qualitative research and methods and have a substantial background in quantitative methods. I have applied SPSS and NVIVO data management tools, and Microsoft suite in my research and willing learn more. Currently, my PhD project aims to measure population wellbeing of internal migrants via a multidimensional approach that is culturally, socially, environmentally, and economically relevant to the context of developing countries. I am particularly interested in how the issues of wellbeing and quality of life of people can well be appreciated by policy makers. I am a self-motivated individual and exercises initiative with a strong sense of data analysis and judgement, meticulous, and can work with no or minimal supervision. My interdisciplinary background has prepared me well to appreciate team efforts and collaborative work and I welcome the opportunity to work as part of a team to achieve project goals.
