Throughout my PhD and my overall research career, I have pursued interdisciplinarity and plurality of methods and methodologies. My overarching research interests are to reexamine existing paradigms in the fields of demography and public policy, with an eye towards advancing justice and equity.

My dissertation research aims to expand boundaries of both public policy research and demographic research by introducing multiple disciplinary and methodological approaches. I critically examine assumptions and premises of demographic research as observed in population policy implementation in the Sierra Leonean and West African context. 

My other research work has focused on menstrual hygiene among adolescent girls in Sierra Leone, adolescent caregiving, social contact patterns and implications on infectious disease spread using time-use data, COVID-19 mortality in Minnesota, and how popular media in various contexts portrays demographic concepts. I have also worked on projects related to renewable energy programs in rural Sierra Leone and tax reform programs at local city councils of Freetown (in 2020) and Kenema (currently involved).
