I am a public health and program operations specialist with over six years of experience managing NGO initiatives, field administration, and community health projects in Somaliland. Across my tenures with ActionAid, WORDA, and SIHA Network, I have directed field logistics, engaged grassroots stakeholders, and secured data integrity for donor reports. I integrate operational rigor with community outreach to advance critical program milestones. My goal is to deploy proactive administration and health expertise to deliver measurable humanitarian impact.
