She is deeply passionate about global healthcare systems and improving nutrition access in low-income communities. Her clinical and research experiences in informal settlements in Kenya and South Africa have shaped her commitment to community-based participatory health research, particularly focused on adolescent and child nutrition.

The first thing I learned to cook was… eggs.

The craziest thing I’ve ever eaten is… crocodile.
