What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can write and lead medical communications that translate field and scientific evidence into donor-ready, policy-relevant content—especially across immunization, reproductive health, and digital health.

I’m a pharmacist and global health professional with 13+ years of frontline experience across HIV/TB, reproductive health, immunization, and health systems strengthening in Sub-Saharan Africa. I bring clinical pharmacy knowledge and field implementation experience, and I’m known for translating complex health evidence into clear, compelling, and accurate content for diverse audiences.

I’ve published peer-reviewed work in BMJ Global Health and the Journal of Adolescent Health, and I regularly produce donor technical reports, SOPs, policy briefs, and communications for USAID, BMGF, WHO, and Gavi-funded programmes. My work spans medical and health content writing, SBCC strategy and content, digital health and telehealth communications, and programme documentation that strengthens M&E narratives, grant proposal development, and policy-facing decision-making.
