About me

As a Nurse Midwife at the Kamuzu University of Health Sciences in Malawi, I am currently pursuing my PhD within the Department of Global Public Health at Karolinska Institutet. My passion for addressing global health challenges has driven me to delve into the complexities of health disparities on a global scale. Under the guidance of Karolinska's esteemed faculty, I am dedicated to contributing meaningful insights that transcend academia and influence policies for the betterment of global health. My journey as a novice researcher and PhD student embodies an unwavering commitment to advancing global public health at this prestigious institution.
