Professional Experience:

I am currently Ghana’s Ambassador to Senegal and a career diplomat who has worked with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ghana for the past 23 years.
I rose through the ranks to the position of Director in the Civil Service, the equivalent of a Minister Plenipotentiary in the diplomatic service, having undertaken both headquarters and international assignments. I have dedicated my career to strengthening Ghana's diplomatic relations, and I have acquired extensive international experience through active participation in international diplomacy.
My experience includes work in the Protocol, Administration, Finance, Information and Public Affairs, Estates and General Services, and Geographical Bureaux of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as well as international postings at Ghana’s embassies in Paris, Canberra, Geneva, and Cotonou. These experiences have equipped me with robust skills in multilateral negotiations, programme management, external relations, and bilateral diplomacy.
