Brief info
Role: I am the Hub’s country lead for Sierra Leone. Here, I work closely with the government and the World Bank to use evidence to inform the design and delivery of EdTech programmes. I also support our Sandbox work in West and East Africa.
Background: Before joining the Hub, I completed my MPhil at the Centre of Development Studies at the University of Cambridge. In the past, I have worked on a number of school-based education programmes in East Africa and India.
Fun Fact: I am using my free time in Sierra Leone to learn how to surf and spearfish. (What else would you do?)
