About

Welcome to my professional journey in public health, research, and workforce development! With a Master of Public Health and a background in neuroscience, I am passionate about enhancing public health systems and workforce capacities to address maternal and infant health, healthcare equity, and sustainable community health solutions. My experience spans project management, strategic planning, and program development, specializing in initiatives that prioritize inclusivity, resilience, and evidence-based solutions.

In previous roles, I’ve contributed extensively to research initiatives, managed complex projects, and led science communication efforts to make technical findings accessible and actionable. I bring a unique blend of scientific expertise and a commitment to workforce development, equipping public health professionals with skills to tackle modern health challenges. My technical proficiencies include PCR, Western Blotting, flow cytometry, molecular assays, cell culture, and DNA cloning. Combined with a strategic outlook on workforce development, these skills make me a dedicated advocate for driving impactful and lasting change.
