What I'm looking for
I am a Public Health Nurse and Registered Midwife with extensive experience in disease surveillance, outbreak investigation, routine immunization, and maternal-child health. I have led active case searches for AFP and other VPDs, coordinated Supplemental Immunization Activities, and strengthened community trust through targeted engagement with local leaders.
I train and mentor frontline health workers, support cold chain management and data quality improvement, and deliver high-quality patient care across clinical and community settings. My work has measurably improved case detection, immunization coverage, and timely reporting while advancing emergency preparedness and response.
