She has worked in Vietnam, the United Kingdom, the United States, Ukraine, across Africa and in Papua New Guinea developing, coordinating, and executing international projects for non-governmental organisations, United Nations agencies and governmental institutions.
From 2019 to 2022 she led a multi-donor program to increase routine immunisation coverage for children under one in 12 provinces across Papua New Guinea.
Her prior roles have included coordinating non-communicable disease implementation science research for NYU Langone, where she worked closely with public health professors, doctors and community health workers in the US, Sudan, Ghana and Kenya.
