Profile Summary

I am a Public Health Professional (Specialist), Epidemiologist, and Disease Control Expert. I earned my PhD in Epidemiology and Disease Control from Kenyatta University School of Health Science, where I focused on improving breast cancer care. With more than 10 years of experience in public health research and higher education training, I hold an MSc in Epidemiology (JKUAT), a Higher Diploma in Community Health Practice (AMIU), a BSc in Biochemistry (UoN), and several relevant certifications. I am a creative and highly motivated individual with strong analytical skills. My greatest desire is to see Africa free from preventable diseases through quality health research.
