Evidence-driven
I design sessions that are anchored in peer-reviewed evidence, current field realities, and the practical implications of research for students and professionals.
Teaching, guest lectures, and methods workshops
Teaching that connects research, method, and real-world application.
I teach across global health, neglected tropical diseases, schistosomiasis, water security, social innovation in health, disability inclusion, and qualitative methods. My goal is to help students and professional audiences understand both the evidence and the institutional realities that shape how change actually happens.

Approach
How I teach
Interdisciplinary
My teaching moves across public health, African studies, development, WASH, policy, and land governance because the problems themselves cut across disciplines.
Applied
Students and audiences leave with frameworks, methods, and examples they can use beyond the classroom, not just concepts to remember for a week.

Looking for a guest lecturer, methods trainer, or collaborator?
I work well with classrooms, labs, graduate programs, and interdisciplinary initiatives that want teaching shaped by evidence, field grounding, and institutional relevance.
