Summary

A licensed Tanzanian medical doctor with over 14 years of diverse experience in clinical medicine, public health, and community health systems strengthening. Currently pursuing a Master’s in Public Health at MUHAS, I bring a strong track record in the design, coordination, and implementation of RMNCAH, HIV, TB, and community-level health interventions. I have extensive experience supporting community-based programming, integrating Early Childhood Development (ECD) and caregiver-focused interventions into broader health and nutrition initiatives. I have coordinated CHW training, implemented gender-sensitive programming, and supported local government authorities and CSOs to strengthen child protection and positive parenting. Proficient in MEL processes, curriculum adaptation, and stakeholder engagement, I am passionate about advancing nurturing care and child well-being in low-resource settings.
