Over the past 10 years, I have gained wide experience as Lecturer, Trainer and Consultant working in the science, food and agriculture sector in Ghana. In my professional journey, I have gone through a lot of transformations which may be an asset to the institution. In terms of Technical Vocational Education Training (TVET) in Ghana, I have gained expertise in CBT curriculum development, facilitation, and internal verification. I oversaw the preparation of the CBT curriculum on fruit processing (NC II) and the fund-raising efforts for the establishment of the agro-processing centre at Methodist University Ghana. For training, consultancy and facilitation skills, I was consulted by Skills Development Fund, USAID Horticulture Innovation Lab and GiZ invest4jobs Projects to build capacity of smallholder farmers and agro-processors on good agronomic practices, agro-processing and postharvest technology.
