She leads the coordination and administrative management of the project, working closely with Ghana-based teams, institutional partners, and international investigators to ensure delivery in line with approved budgets, timelines, and research objectives.

In this capacity, she oversees the operations of the Baobab Medical Centre in Biriwa, ensuring the provision of quality and accessible healthcare services to underserved populations. She also leads community-based initiatives focused on vocational skills development and ICT training for young women, as well as the reintegration of returning migrants through sustainable livelihood programmes.
Tina has extensive experience in mental health systems research. Between 2020 and 2022, she served as Team Coordinator on a University of Oxford–led project that co-developed a roadmap for mental healthcare delivery in the Mfantsiman Municipality of Ghana. She coordinated fieldwork, stakeholder engagement, and institutional collaboration between the University of Ghana and the University of Oxford, contributing to participatory and policy-relevant research outputs.
Her academic background is interdisciplinary, spanning business administration, human resource management, global public health, and psychology. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from the University of Professional Studies, Ghana; an Executive MBA in Human Resource Management from the University of Ghana; an MSc in Global Public Health from Queen Mary University of London; and a Postgraduate Certificate in Psychology from the University of Oxford.
Tina’s work is grounded in advancing equitable and context-responsive health systems in low- and middle-income settings, with particular interests in mental health, ethics in global health, and community-engaged research.
