About me
I am a dedicated academic currently engaged in teaching and scholarship at the University of the West of England (UWE), driven by a commitment to advancing health and social care through Critical Social and Occupational Science ideas.
My research interests are grounded in Critical and Socially Transformative Occupational Science, Community Development Principles, and Spirituality in Health and wellbeing.
In addition to my academic responsibilities, I actively contribute to the global occupational science and therapy community. As an Executive Board Member of the International Society for Occupational Science, I engage in advancing the field internationally. I also serve as an examiner for the Allied Health Professions Council of Ghana, maintaining high standards for practice within the region. Within the Occupational Therapy Association of Ghana (OTAG), where I am a committed member and co-chair of the Scientific Conference Committee, I lead the OTAG-AKROFI Grant subcommittee—a pioneering initiative focused on elevating occupational therapy and science research in Ghana.
Area of expertise
My expertise encompasses teaching and learning in Health Education, and developing occupational therapy curricula that prioritize community-based and population health approaches.
My scholarship is dedicated to equipping students and practioners with the skills and perspectives needed to address pressing health and social inequalities, advocate for social justice, and effectively serve marginalized populations.
Currently, my primary focus involves leading research efforts to craft a socially transformative occupational therapy curriculum that supports health promotion, population health, and the mitigation of Health and social inequalities.
