What's Important
Serving and shaping the future of our children
My journey of wanting to be of service likely began at the age of 10, during my first year of high school. I attended a Catholic all-girls school, where the dedicated nuns became a source of inspiration. Their profound selflessness ignited a powerful conviction in me that a life devoted to service was not only possible but deeply fulfilling. From that moment, I knew I wanted to dedicate my career to service to others; to uplift and support the vulnerable. That passion has only intensified over the years.
Passionate About
I am passionate about inclusive and sustainable economic development. I pursue this passion through service to several not-for-profit organisations, my entrepreneurial ventures and political engagement in my country of birth, Sierra Leone.
Academic Background
Phd Research: Gender & Transition to Net Zero
In 2025, my doctoral research will focus on the intersection of gender and the transition to net zero, a vital but often overlooked dimension of climate action. Gender equality and climate justice are deeply connected, and addressing gender disparities can significantly strengthen efforts to achieve a fair and effective net-zero transition.
Masters Environmental & Sustainability Studies MSc
During my 12-year tenure as founder and Managing Director at FLS Power, I developed a strong interest in community-led renewables, with a focus on gender equity. In 2023, this passion led me to pursue full-time research studies at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland, a renowned institution globally. The UK is a hub for climate leadership, sustainability research, and international collaboration.
Masters Business Administration MBA
I pursued an MBA to deepen my understanding of organisational dynamics, finance, and leadership, preparing for a higher-impact role.
In 2005, when I completed my MBA, they were widely recognised as a way to develop business acumen, strategic thinking, and leadership capabilities essential for advancing in corporate, public sector, or entrepreneurial roles. While my MBA provided a strong foundation in strategy and systems thinking, over time, I’ve come to apply that lens to broader societal challenges, particularly those related to climate, equity, and sustainability.
That early business training now enables me to bridge sectors and advocate for systemic change, drawing on both economic and social insights.
BSc. Computing & Information Systems BSc
The early 2000s marked a turning point in the digital revolution, characterised by the dot-com boom, the rapid expansion of the internet, and a rising demand for tech-savvy professionals.
A degree in Computing and Information Systems positioned me at the cutting edge of this transformation.
"In 2000, I recognised that technology would be a defining force for the future, and I wanted to be equipped to understand, build, and shape it.
This degree provided me with a solid foundation in both technical skills (programming, databases, systems analysis) and applied problem-solving relevant to the businesses I have started and my roles in government and non-profit organisations.
