I am currently a fourth-year PhD student in Rhetoric and Writing Studies at the University of Texas, El Paso, where I also serve as an Assistant Instructor for the First-Year Composition course (RWS 1301 1302). With a rich background in education, I previously worked with the Ghana Education Service—specifically at Wesley High School— as well as the College of Distance Education (CoDE) at the University of Cape Coast, Mansoman Centre, and other private colleges, amassing extensive teaching experience. My career progression culminated in achieving the rank of Assistant Director One (AD I), a role that qualifies me to serve as a high school principal or administrator.
I seek to secure a tenure-track academic position in the USA or abroad, balancing both teaching and research. Additionally, I aspire to become a Director of Corporate Communications, applying my expertise across various fields to manage communication strategies across multiple media platforms.
