A dedicated Meteorologist with over a decade of experience in weather forecasting, climate analysis, and environmental risk management. Specializing in tropical meteorology and climate change adaptation strategies tailored to the unique climatic conditions of Ghana Accra. Committed to leveraging scientific expertise to enhance public safety, agricultural productivity, and disaster preparedness in Ghana's capital region.

As a qualified Meteorologist based in Accra, I have developed a robust career focused on providing accurate weather forecasts and climate insights critical for Ghana's socio-economic sectors. My work at the Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMA) and collaborations with local institutions have enabled me to address regional challenges such as erratic rainfall patterns, urban heat islands, and seasonal variability. With a strong foundation in meteorological science and a passion for community engagement, I aim to contribute to sustainable development in Ghana Accra through innovative climate solutions.
