Born originally in my native Accra, Ghana, I consider myself a public intellectual dedicated to invigorating minds and reshaping narratives through scholarship and teaching. Trained both as a Lawyer and Social Scientist, my academic journey spans multiple disciplines across world-class institutions: a Juris Doctor from Cornell Law School (2023), a Master of Arts in Sociology from Columbia University (2018), a Master of Arts in International Relations from the University of Chicago (2016), and a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and American Studies from Macalester College (2015). I enriched my education by studying at the University of Oxford's New College as a Summer Associate, concentrating in African Politics, and at Harvard University's Graduate School of Arts & Sciences as a Summer Research Associate, exploring Pan-African thought and history.

Following law school, I joined McGuireWoods LLP's New York office as an Associate in Government Investigations and White Collar Litigation. My work encompassed high-stakes criminal matters including securities fraud, anti-bribery and corruption cases, and seditious conspiracy. I conducted internal compliance investigations for major financial institutions and represented clients before the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York, the District of Columbia, and regulatory bodies including the SEC, DOJ, and FINRA.

Working directly with senior partners, I achieved notable successes including negotiating a non-prosecution agreement before EDNY prosecutors, independently drafting investigative reports for major financial institutions, preparing a clemency petition for an incarcerated youth, and writing a sentencing submission that reduced a client's sentence to one-third of the original recommendation.

At my core, I am a writer and educator. My passion for education and mentorship drives my active engagement in interdisciplinary scholarship across Law, Sociology, Political Science, and the Humanities. While my research has traditionally focused on power, rhetoric, and African philosophical thought, my interests now center on therapeutic jurisprudence and socio-legal approaches to criminal law. I currently serve as an Adjunct Assistant Professor at Hofstra University teaching Introduction to Criminology, and as faculty at St. Paul's School of Nursing in Queens, where I teach Law and Ethics, Sociology, and College Success. I believe that law is not only a system, but a story—and I am committed to reshaping it.
