What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration and innovation in public health initiatives.

I am a dedicated public health leader with over 15 years of experience in implementing and supporting infectious disease programs across Africa, particularly in HIV and TB. My academic background includes a Bachelor of Medical Laboratory Sciences and a Master of Public Health, which have equipped me with the knowledge and skills necessary to drive impactful health initiatives. I have a proven track record in program management, stakeholder engagement, and strategic planning, ensuring that health programs align with national and international health goals.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led various health programs, including vaccine roll-out initiatives and rapid response efforts for cholera and Ebola outbreaks. My ability to cultivate strong relationships with ministries of health, NGOs, and international organizations has been instrumental in enhancing program effectiveness. I am passionate about health systems strengthening and have contributed to the development of training curricula and quality improvement initiatives that integrate public health strategies into primary healthcare systems.
