About

I am a Master of Public Health-qualified specialist with seven years of experience driving large-scale community health, nutrition, and WASH interventions across Somaliland. I manage end-to-end program execution and donor reporting, building strategic partnerships with government ministries and international agencies to deliver essential maternal and child health services. By leveraging robust monitoring frameworks, I have optimized health outcomes and expanded clinical reach through routine immunization campaigns in fragile environments. I am now looking to apply my technical expertise in community resilience and program management to high-impact global health initiatives.
