Ama is currently studying Blue Economy, Governance and Social Resilience, driven by her biochemistry background and interest in marine bio-active compounds for improving livelihoods. She is passionate about tackling food insecurity exacerbated by climate change through entrepreneurship in Africa.

"As someone concerned about coastal communities and food security in Africa, climate change poses a significant threat by altering marine ecosystems, disrupting fish stocks, and exacerbating food insecurity in vulnerable regions. Additionally, the impact of climate change on marine bio-active compounds, essential for both pharmaceutical and agricultural industries, further underscores the urgency of addressing climate change to safeguard both human livelihoods and biodiversity."
