What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my public health expertise to improve community health outcomes, with opportunities for professional growth and collaboration.

I am a dedicated public health professional with a Bachelor of Science degree in Public Health from Arba-Minch University. My career spans various roles in health facilities, focusing on TB, MDR-TB, and HIV programs. I have a proven track record of implementing health education initiatives and managing clinical services effectively.

Throughout my career, I have received multiple certificates for my contributions to health services, including recognition for my work in malnutrition screening and management. My experience includes coordinating health literacy units and leading MDR-TB treatment initiatives, where I developed strong relationships with stakeholders to improve patient care and health outcomes.

With a commitment to continuous learning, I have participated in numerous trainings that enhance my skills in monitoring and evaluation, epidemiological analysis, and health communication. I am passionate about making a difference in community health and am eager to take on new challenges in the public health sector.
