Public health epidemiologist at World Health Organization who strengthened disease surveillance and immunization programs across Liberia.

Liberia
Message

At World Health Organization, I supported health system strengthening as Epidemiologist and County Coordinator, working on disease surveillance, immunization, and maternal health programs.

I trained and mentored six District surveillance Officers and 38 health facility staff in integrated disease surveillance and response protocols for Liberia in River Gee. I also supported the County health team of Sinoe County on its overall response to covid 19.

As National Epidemiologist at World Health Organization, I set up an ebola surveillance system, conducted outbreak investigations, and built surveillance officers’ capacity in data analysis.

My work has also included monitoring an HPV multi antigen campaign, coordinating LLIN distribution data activities, and teaching epidemiology fundamentals at Grand Gedeh Community College. I hold an MPH in Epidemiology from Cuttington University Graduate School.
