PROFILE

Deputy Minister for Administration, Ministry of National Defense (MoD), Government of Liberia. I have dedicated over 18 years of my life to the MoD beginning in 2006 before playing several roles, including Deputy Director for Plans and Policy, Director for Administration, Director for Procurement, Logistics, and Transportation, Director for Human Resources, Assistant Minister for Administration, and Assistant Minister for Operations in my previous role. As Deputy Minister for Administration, I assist the Minister of National Defense in the day-to-day running of the Ministry of National Defense. I am privileged to work alongside Liberia’s first female Defense Minister to help build a robust and dynamic military to keep our people safe and borders protected.

I have a PhD in Security Studies from the School of Politics, Security, and International Affairs, the University of Central Florida (UCF), the United States of America. I worked for five years at UCF as a research assistant (teaching assistant), handling teaching and mentoring responsibilities during my PhD studies between 2018 and 2023. I remain grateful to the government and people of the United States, particularly the School of Politics, Security and International Affairs, for the opportunity that allows me to achieve my dream of a PhD. US taxpayers’ dollars fully funded the program, and I am grateful. We (my wife, kids, and I) enjoy living in Orlando, especially the friendly people and fascinating cultures, and its exquisite international offerings are things we will forever remember. One of our sons was born in the beautiful city of Orlando. After graduation, I returned home with my family to serve my country, hoping to make it better and more secure for future generations. I am equally grateful to my dissertation committee of five people, including Drs. Michael Mousseau, Chair, Tom Dolan, Kenicia Wright, Paul Vasquez, and Sue Mahan, all of whom served as committee members for my dissertation. Words are inadequate to express my gratitude to these great people for their help during my PhD studies at UCF.

Thank you for your time.
