The network is increasing diversity of gender (and thus experience and expertise) in an industry that is critical to avoiding the worst effects of climate change.

Associate (Africa Energy Program), Rocky Mountain Institute
/ Abuja

I am an Associate with the Rocky Mountain Institute's Africa Energy Program where my current work focuses on scaling productive uses of energy with solar mini-gris in Nigeria. Previously, I was a Senior Associate at the Boston Consulting group's Lagos office, and a Distillation Engineer Intern at ExxonMobil's Fawley Refinery in the UK.

I have a PhD in energy systems modelling from Imperial College London where I was part of the Grantham Institute for Climate Change and the Environment and Centre for Environmental Policy. My thesis focused on understanding how electricity systems need to transition to deliver the Paris Agreement with a focus on the UK and Nigeria. I have Bachelor's and Master's degrees in engineering science from the University of Oxford.
