from the halls of Cambridge to the heart of African student empowerment.
Richard is a higher education professional with experience managing international recruitment pipelines and representing institutions at events. Proven track record building relationships with agents, schools, partners, and students. Skilled in data analysis (Salesforce, PowerBI) and event coordination. MPhil from University of Cambridge. Passionate about driving student success and fostering global connections
Today I channel that experience into my professional work and into AfriPath, a platform I co-founded to ensure the path I walked is clearer for those who come after. I thrive at the intersection of student support, virtual programme coordination, and Pan-African community building.
A trajectory shaped by student-centred work, cross-cultural coordination, and virtual engagement across Europe, Africa, and Latin America.
AfriPath is the platform I co-founded because I know exactly what it means to search for opportunities without a roadmap.
A free digital platform connecting African students with global scholarship opportunities, low-deposit universities in the UK, USA, and Canada, and a peer mentorship network pairing aspiring scholars with experienced alumni.

Service to community has been a constant thread — from leading student governance in Ghana to representing the Ghanaian diaspora at Cambridge.
Whether it’s a collaboration, an opportunity in African education, or simply a conversation — I’m always open.
I am actively seeking full-time roles in higher education coordination, student success, and African education access — and am prepared to relocate within Africa immediately.
