Epidemiologist dedicated to improving public health through data analysis.
What I'm looking for
I am an experienced epidemiologist with a strong background in public health nutrition and emergency response. My journey began with a Master of Public Health, where I graduated with a CGPA of 3.82, and I have since dedicated my career to addressing public health challenges across Africa. Currently, I serve as a Rapid Responder at the African Volunteers Health Corps, where I am part of a team that swiftly responds to health emergencies, conducts epidemiological surveillance, and provides technical assistance to strengthen health systems.
Throughout my career, I have held various roles that have honed my skills in data analysis and outbreak management. As a Surveillance Officer with the Ohio State Global One Health Initiative, I led initiatives that minimized the impact of disease outbreaks through timely data collection and analysis. My experience as an instructor at Bethel Medical College allowed me to guide future public health professionals, fostering their research skills and encouraging active learning. I am passionate about using my expertise to drive impactful health initiatives and improve community health outcomes.
