What I'm looking for

I am seeking product/project roles in health tech or global health that use user-centered design, evidence-based M&E, and collaborative stakeholder engagement to scale digital health solutions.

I am a certified project manager and public health professional with over five years leading health, gender, and education programs, now transitioning into health tech product and project management. I combine public health expertise, program design experience, and user-centered research to create digital health solutions that improve outcomes at scale.

Throughout my career I have designed and managed programs for adolescent girls and young women, influenced policy through stakeholder collaboration, and built community-based initiatives that reached 1,000+ young women. I am experienced in Agile and Waterfall approaches, Project DPro, user insight gathering, monitoring & evaluation (SPSS, Excel, dashboards), and facilitation.

I bring a practical, evidence-driven approach to product and project work, leveraging participatory methods, iterative design, and strong cross-functional stakeholder engagement to translate user needs into actionable, scalable solutions.
