Work history

About me

I’m a passionate and results-driven Team Leader and Planning Professional with over 8 years’ experience across urban planning, project delivery, development control, and facilities operations. My background includes working with public institutions such as Ghana Airports Company Limited and Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly, and currently as a Team Leader overseeing operations at a major UK transport depot.

I hold an MSc in Development Policy and Planning, a BSc in Development Planning, and I’m a certified Project Management Professional (PMP®). I am also an Affiliate Member of the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI). My approach blends technical knowledge, strong leadership, and excellent stakeholder engagement skills to ensure projects and operational tasks are delivered safely, on time, and to a high standard.

 

What am I looking for

I’m actively seeking new volunteering opportunities in planning, project or programme management, enforcement, or development roles across the UK — where I can contribute to impactful work while continuing to grow professionally.
