Umalkhayrmohamed Abdi

I am a human nutrition and healthcare professional dedicated to improving maternal, neonatal, and child health outcomes in vulnerable community settings. Holding a Bachelor of Science in Human Nutrition, I bring hands-on experience in anthropometric growth monitoring, cold chain management, routine immunization, and infant feeding counseling. Across hospital and humanitarian camp environments, I triage patients, maintain critical pharmaceutical supplies, and deliver community health education. I aim to apply my clinical and nutritional expertise to high-impact public health programs.
