About

I am an emergency care clinician and public health specialist holding an MSc in One Health in Tropical Infectious Diseases and a BSc in Public Health. Over seven years across clinical facilities, humanitarian initiatives, and academia, I have led acute outpatient interventions, epidemiological investigations, and healthcare workforce training. My expertise spans disease surveillance, pre-hospital life support, and health program monitoring in resource-limited environments. I deliver clinical and operational leadership to strengthen health systems in emergency and low-resource settings.
