About Me

My research focuses on international political economy, governance, security cooperation, and public policy. My doctoral dissertation examined how trade facilitation aid influences customs efficiency, combining cross-national quantitative analysis with comparative case studies of four African countries. My broader scholarship explores foreign military assistance, militarization, and drug policy, drawing on both quantitative and qualitative methods.

I also hold an M.S. in Applied Criminology and a B.A. in Economics. Before pursuing my graduate studies, I worked as a Deputy Narcotics Analyst with Ghana's Narcotics Control Commission, where I researched drug trafficking and substance use trends and contributed to policy reporting and public education initiatives.
