He is also an economist and public policy advocate. Before that, he had been Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Co-ordinator at Marathon EG Production, where he led FDA-approved clinical trials into eradicating malaria. His work has been recognized and published in the American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. The BIMEP malaria project has also won the P3 Impact Award at the 2019 Concordia Summit, which is an award from the Office of Global Partnerships at the US Department of State, along with the University of Virginia and Concordia.
