I have also held social and digital media management and video journalism roles.

I am a co-founder and an active volunteer of Wikimedia Ghana User Group, a Ghanaian community of Wikipedia editors. I was named Wikimedian of the Year in October 2020.

My work

I advise and assist with collaboration and communication with communities about product development, community-facing product changes, and roll-outs.
