I am a researcher, study coordinator and project manager with a strong interest in developing and deploying innovative public health and social protection interventions aimed at fighting TB. My work thus far has focused on implementation research projects that focus on both innovative public health interventions and the contexts with in which these interventions are implemented. Through our work, I have led and presented health systems analyses and costs. I have participated in creating new collaboration with, developing partnerships by engaging national stakeholders and providing context that keeps TB patients and their needs at the center of our goals.
