I have a master's educational background in public health and have more than 5 years of extensive experience in health project management, research project monitoring, and community engagement. I have been involved in program management and research monitoring focusing on Tuberculosis (TB), health nutrition, Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTD's), and community-based health programs. I have managed several research projects on TB and neglected tropical diseases for more than 5 years, including community empowerment in the Active Case Search and Contact Investigation program for community-based TB, managing the preparation of the National Action Plan for Leprosy Eradication, as well as the preparation of the Curriculum and Management Training Module TB for national and regional levels.
