What I'm looking for

I'm aspiring to become a neurosurgeon and am interested in preventive healthcare, gender equality, disaster risk reduction preparedness, research, and climate change solutions.

At Bafang District Hospital, I received patients, completed intake forms, and practiced nursing skills, including wound dressing and medication administration under supervision.

With HEALTHi FIRST, I developed content about disease risks, symptoms, and prevention, and delivered health talks in the community.

At the United Nations Institute for Training and Research, I translated an entrepreneurship course from English to French and followed up with more than 1,400 African female entrepreneurs as they used the LMS and completed their courses. I also analyzed data and wrote a project completion report.
