Who I Am

Dedicated to Public Health
in Humanitarian Settings

I am a Public Health Professional with a BSc from Ambo University (CGPA 3.5), with five years of experience in clinical and humanitarian healthcare across refugee and emergency settings in Ethiopia.

My work spans outpatient consultations, emergency care, maternal and child health services, communicable disease management, disease surveillance, and patient referral systems — all in resource-limited and high-pressure environments.

I am skilled in implementing treatment protocols, infection prevention measures, epidemiological reporting, and leading multidisciplinary teams. I am committed to delivering impartial, quality medical care to vulnerable populations.
