What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to leverage my skills in education and health to drive community impact and foster sustainable development.

I am Berry Ochieng, a dedicated professional with a robust background in educational management and health education. With a Bachelor of Science in Public Health and a Bachelor of Education and Counselling, I have honed my skills in fostering effective learning environments across high schools and universities. My experience spans over seven years, during which I have successfully managed educational settings and conducted health education sessions that empower both students and faculty.

My expertise extends to community engagement and project coordination, where I have worked closely with various stakeholders, including government bodies and NGOs, to implement impactful health initiatives. Notably, I have facilitated training programs for youth on HIV/AIDS prevention and reproductive health, reaching thousands of individuals in my community. My commitment to improving educational and health outcomes is reflected in my role as an Administration Officer, where I have developed and overseen programs that ensure sustainable implementation and positive change.
