An urban planner and researcher with 5 years of cumulative professional experience in the urban development sector in Africa. My expertise lies in assessing, mainstreaming, and advocating for justice for marginalized groups by gender or disability in the implementation of transport systems . My career reputation proves successful collaboration with diverse teams in international development organizations, NGOs, and the private sector on diverse development topics such as sustainable mobility, urban finance, and spatial planning within Africa. My diverse research interests lie in equitable mobility and transportation planning with a keen eye on financing sustainable
transportation projects. Currently, I am an active participant of the Fourth cohort of the SLOCAT/VREF Young Leaders in Sustainable Transport Programme, while pursuing a Master’s degree in Infrastructure Planning at the University of Stuttgart in Germany.
