A medical doctor with over 4 years’ experience in patient care currently in training to become a psychiatrist with the Ghana and West Africa Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons. Unfortunately, mental health issues are often overlooked and stigmatized, as such I believe it is essential to educate people, especially adolescents, about mental health issues. I have a first-hand experience and competence in improving the outcomes of people living with mental health conditions.
An area of keen interest is the reintegration of persons living with mental health disability into their occupations and communities. I particularly enjoy educating adolescent girls on improving their mental wellness and hope to pursue this on a larger scale through the Mental Health Index project.
Apart from my work, I enjoy reading, swimming, and spending time with my family and friends. It is my firm belief that everyone deserves a chance to live a fulfilling life, and by working together, we can achieve this goal.
