Biography

My doctoral research focused on climate adaptation and decision-support frameworks for buildings and cities—insights that continue to shape my work today. I am passionate about building more inclusive, data-driven, and climate-resilient cities—and creating platforms where policy, people, and design intersect to shape better futures. Following my time in Cambridge, my professional journey spans academia, public service, and high-level consultancy—shaping national and regional strategies, advising governments and multilateral institutions, and leading complex programs across Africa. I have had the opportunity to advise governments, development partners, and multilateral agencies on sustainable urban transformation, ESG integration, infrastructure strategy as well as sustainable housing and settlements. I thrive at the intersection of strategy, systems thinking, and execution—translating complex challenges into solutions that work on the ground.
