As the Minister of Technical and Higher Education in Sierra Leone, I bring to the table a wealth of experience and expertise acquired through my background as a former Senior Lecturer and researcher at the College of Medicine and Allied Health Sciences, University of Sierra Leone. Combined with my academic background, I have a profound understanding of Sierra Leone's educational environment and a dedication to catalyzing positive transformation within its education sector. 

My primary objective is to leverage evidence-based policies and initiatives to align our education system with the specific needs of our nation. With over a decade of experience in conducting health systems strengthening research, I have led numerous projects aimed at generating evidence to inform government policy and donor strategies. These efforts have successfully addressed critical gaps in evidence and research capacity building, contributing significantly to both the global health agenda and Sierra Leone's national efforts for health systems strengthening. Furthermore, I am dedicated to advancing sustainable institutional research capacity. Through advocacy for multidisciplinary research, I aim to reshape the research landscape and bolster national development efforts in Sierra Leone. 

?Throughout my career, I have made substantial contributions to research, policy, and leadership, gaining recognition on a global scale for my efforts. Notably, my research has been published in prestigious journals such as Lancet. Additionally, my selection as a Kofi Annan Global Health Leadership Fellow underscores my commitment to exemplary leadership and mentorship in developmental fields.
