What I'm looking for

I'm interested in roles at the intersection of programme management, monitoring and evaluation, global health, humanitarian response and data analytics, where evidence can strengthen implementation, improve accountability and support better outcomes for affected populations.

At the World Health Organization, I support subnational health authorities in strengthening routine immunization, Acute Flaccid Paralysis surveillance and response to circulating variant poliovirus. In my current role, I monitor integrated service delivery and use field evidence to help identify programme gaps and corrective actions.

As Sub-national Technical Focal Point for Integrated Disease Surveillance and Response, I coordinated disease surveillance and outbreak-response activities with government authorities and partners. I consolidated and interpreted vaccination and epidemiological data to inform outbreak-control measures.

As Health Emergencies Response Coordinator, I coordinated preparedness and response to outbreaks including cholera, Lassa fever and measles. I developed a Lassa fever risk-categorization framework to support geographic prioritization and response planning.

Earlier at WHO, I supported surveillance, immunization and emergency-response programmes, including COVID-19 operations and operational research on polio and COVID-19. I hold an MPH in Monitoring and Evaluation and an MSc in Physiology, and am interested in roles connecting programme management, global health, humanitarian response and data analytics.
