Born on the 10 October, 1976 in Northern Ghana at a town by name "Damongo", located in the West Gonja District. I attended and Graduated from the University of Ghana on the 09 March, 2013 with a Master of Arts Degree in Master of Arts Degree in Social Policy. Prior to that I also graduated with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Modern Languages (French-Spanissh and Linguistics) on 26 May, 2001 equally from the University of Ghana. So my highest academic degree is a Master's in Social Policy. I had Proffessional Training in Electoral Assistance Programmes with Certificates from the AAEA (Association of African Electoral Authorrities) and also took an Online Electoral Course with EC-UNDP Task Force in Electoral Assistance. Again, completed an Online Training in "Conflict Analysis Certificate Course" with USIP (United States Institute of Peace) Washington, DC. I am a Professional Elections Expert with Regional Experience in Africa. For example, Sub-Sahara Africa and North Africa. I have worked with UNDP Madagascar on Elections, UNDP Sierra Leone , UNMIL in Liberia, Ghana - Electoral Commission, and with The Carter Center in Egypt, then with UNOCI in Cote d'Ivoire. In many cases, I have been an Electoral Advisor/Conseiller Electorale, and Regional Coordinator of Elections. I have interest in Elections. It's a tool for a smooth transfer of power by the "People" or Electorate. I am very much interested in ensuring Gender Mainstreaming in Electoral Processes allowing women and men with equal opportunities. I enjoy working with colleagues in a team, accepting the opinions of others. Cultural diversity is very good in team work. I am humble and very respectful. Conflict Analysis"
