Chief of PartyPATH Drug Research Group
A medical doctor by profession. Graduated with a bachelors degree from University of Nairobi, Kenya and a Masters in International public health from University of Sydney, Australia.
Over 16 years experience in public health. Currently working with PATH as Chief of Party for APHIAplus Western Kenya project. This is a USAID funded health systems strengthening project focused on improving service delivery across key disease areas including HIV and AIDS; TB; Malaria; Maternal, newborn and child health; and nutrition. Prior to joining PATH, I worked as clinician in district and provincial government hospitals before eventually moving to the Ministry of Health headquarters.
I have an interest in improving the health of women and children in low resource settings like where I work. The project that I head therefore provides a platform for pilot and scale of PATH innovations to improve the health of women and children. The Western Kenya region has the highest HIV burden in Kenya. It also has one of the highest burdens of maternal and child mortality in Kenya.
Am married with 2 lovely children.
