Biography

I am a results oriented Nutrition and Social Behavior Change programming strategist highly skilled in development and implementation of community centered approaches in Public Health Nutrition, HIV, Gender, Maternal and child health, Food Security, Water and Sanitation Hygiene. I hold a Masters degree in Public Health (MPH) and a bachelors degree in Nutrition Science. Over the years I have undertaken extensive training in Social Behavior Change programming approaches and have implemented these in multiple interventions particularly in low income communities achieving positive outcomes in various thematic areas. I have implemented projects funded by USAID (BHA /FFP/OFDA), Feed the Future, PEPFAR, European Union and the Swedish Government (SIDA). I have also worked as part of a team in an organization sub-contracted by UNICEF to implement multisector accelerated efforts towards Stunting reduction and improved nutrition outcomes. I have a strong passion for the development of sustainable, cost-effective humanitarian response and early recovery strategies for developing countries and believe through active research and implementation of evidence-based programming positive change and sustainable community development can be achieved.
