About me
Aspiring educationist, interested in research and policy development.
Originally an electrical engineering graduate, I have always had an interest in public policy, especially in the education sector. Throughout my academic career, i have taken up every opportunity to work as an educator and contribute to different education related projects. Moreover, my experience with CSS, especially in the field of Sociology of Education and Public Administration, has kindled my passion to work towards education policy development; something I hope to contribute to in the near future. I also possess proficiency in various programming languages, including R, SQL and Python, as well as in statistics software such as STATA and SHAZAM.
