Sierra LeoneWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Public Health graduate with First Class Honours from the University of Makeni. My academic journey has equipped me with a robust understanding of community engagement, public health education, and project coordination. I have a proven track record in fostering partnerships and delivering impactful health interventions, which I demonstrated during my tenure as a Community Engagement Officer with CHAMPS.
In my role as a Registration Officer at the Electoral Commission Sierra Leone, I supervised a team to ensure the integrity of the voter registration process. My volunteer experiences, including coordinating the Community Girls Circle initiative, have further honed my skills in empowering young women and improving health literacy within local communities. I am passionate about conducting research that informs public health strategies, as evidenced by my research project on sex education and its role in preventing STDs among university students.
