What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to drive impactful health initiatives and foster community empowerment.

I am a dedicated professional with a strong background in women's health and empowerment, having co-founded multiple initiatives aimed at improving sexual and reproductive health services. My journey began with the establishment of SOSO CARE, where I led product development and community engagement efforts that positively impacted over 18,000 women and young girls. My commitment to gender equality and health advocacy has driven me to create sustainable solutions that empower women through education and access to essential health services.

With an MBA in Human Resources Management and extensive training in project management and community mobilization, I have successfully coordinated various programs that address critical health issues, including family planning and maternal health. My experience includes building partnerships with local and international organizations, securing funding for impactful projects, and leading training sessions to enhance community capacity. I am passionate about fostering environments where women can thrive and make informed choices about their health.
