What I'm looking for

I’m seeking remote opportunities in nutrition, public health, global health, humanitarian response, and international development—where I can apply evidence-based nutrition practice, monitoring & evaluation, and training to strengthen programs and teams.

I’m a Dedicated Public Health Nutritionist with over 6 years of experience designing and implementing nutrition and community health programs in collaboration with the Rwanda Ministry of Health. I focus on nutritional assessment, malnutrition management, and maternal and child health, combining clinical guidance with practical community delivery.

I’ve conducted child growth monitoring and nutritional surveillance using WHO Anthro to support evidence-based clinical decisions, managed acute and chronic malnutrition using national protocols and WHO guidelines, and strengthened nutrition services by mentoring and supervising Community Health Workers. I also deliver health promotion sessions on breastfeeding, complementary feeding, hygiene, and disease prevention while maintaining accurate reporting and monitoring outputs.

Beyond field practice, I serve as a National Trainer for Care for Child Development (CCD), facilitating competency-based training for healthcare providers and Community Health Workers, and building capacity through coaching and technical support. I also bring training experience from Trainer of Trainers roles (including TOT for the Community Health Polyvalent Model) and survey experience with World Vision Rwanda.
